that MADD is associated with fewer remissions and a higher risk of progression into syndromal disorders However a variety of studies that are based on retrospective clinical data suggest that this notion is too simplistic and should be subjected to further examination A longitudinal study of 85 MADD patients revealed that after a year more than half had recovered The remaining were classified with syndromal depression or anxiety It is therefore likely that the majority of people who have the MADD criteria are not severely affected or in an early stage of Syndromal Affective Disorder They

your brain reacts to specific nerve impulses You could also benefit from cognitive behavior treatment that can help you change negative thought patterns or coping mechanisms that contribute to your symptoms It is welldocumented that cooccurring anxiety and depression symptoms are common In fact according to a study on mental health issues in primary care they account for about half of all psychological disorders reported MADD is a controversial diagnosis within mental health systems A number of studies have proven that MADD doesnt have sufficient diagnostic validity or stability over time generalized anxiety disorder is not clear whether the MADD diagnosis can help guide patients to the right treatment Additionally numerous clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated considerable symptom overlap between depression and anxiety Consequently it is not uncommon for individuals with subthreshold cooccurring anxiety and depression to transition to another psychiatric diagnosis in the course of time For example in the DSM5 which does not include a dedicated diagnosis for MADD patients with subsyndromal signs of anxiety and depression are categorized as having other specified depressive disorder with anxietyrelated distress Despite the ongoing debate about whether MADD is an appropriate diagnostic term a variety of factors suggest its continued importance in facilitating access treatment and improving the outcomes of patients This involves allowing patients to seek treatment earlier to prevent symptoms from escalating and lessening the burden on healthcare systems
