Transdiagnostic factors predicting the 2-year disability outcome in patients with anxiety and depressive disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Both anxiety and depressive disorders are associated with significant long-term disability. Since experienced impairments vary between patients independent of diagnosis and disease severity, identifying transdiagnostic factors that predict the course of disability may provide new targets to reduce disability.
