    Dernovšek, Mojca Zvezdana ; Tavčar, Rok, 1964- ; Sajovic, Matjaž
    Depression is frequently diagnosed and treated by general practicioners. In observational study we investigated the influence of the severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms on the frequency of ... patients' questions about mental disorder and their tendency to misinterpret the signs and symptoms of depression as side effects of medication. In 60 public health centers across Slovenia a total of 422 patients with depression treated with paroxetine were included. After one week of treatment one quarter of patients reported adverseeffects and 15% of these patients misinterpreted signs of depression and anxiety for adverse effects. These patients tend to be more anxious and more depressed at the beginning of treatment. Half of them could not accept the explanation of their misinterpretation. A total of 55% patients had additional questions about illness at the second visit and these patients werealso more anxious and more depressed at the beginning of treatment.
