Trait anxiety, depression, and insomnia among benign paroxysmal positional vertigo cases: A multidisciplinary cross-sectional study

Abstract

Background: Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is the most common peripheral vestibular disease and is often associated with psychiatric conditions, including anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Studies evaluating trait anxiety in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo cases are limited. Our study aimed to assess trait anxiety, depression, and insomnia levels among those cases to investigate and emphasize the clinical value of evaluating psychiatric comorbidities. Methods: Individuals who applied to an otorhinolaryngology outpatient clinic and were diagnosed with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo were consecutively invited to participate. An extensive psychiatric assessment, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Insomnia Severity Index, and Penn State Worry Questionnaire, was applied. Results: Of 35 benign paroxysmal positional vertigo patients (21 females, 14 males, mean age: 51), almost half were diagnosed with anxiety disorders, and one-third were diagnosed with depressive disorders. 34.3% (n = 12) of the sample had mild anxiety, whereas 28.6% (n = 10) had moderate and 31.4% (n = 11) had severe anxiety. 25.7% (n = 9) of the cases reported mild depressive symptoms, while 22.9% (n = 8) had moderate, and 11.4% (n = 4) had severe depression scores. 77.1% (n = 27) of the patients had mild to severe insomnia severity. All 35 participants in the study showed higher trait anxiety levels than the cut-off values of the scale. Conclusions: Evaluating benign paroxysmal positional vertigo cases for psychiatric conditions could contribute to the practical and integrated treatment of the disease, reduce its triggering causes, and increase the quality of life of the patients.
