Defining anxious depression: a review of the literature

TL;DR: The evidence reviewed here suggests that defining anxious depression in a dimensional manner may be the most useful and clinically relevant way of differentiating it from other types of mood and anxiety disorders, and of highlighting the most clinically significant differences between patients with anxious depression versus depression or anxiety alone.

The relevance of ‘mixed anxiety and depression’ as a diagnostic category in clinical practice

TL;DR: It is argued that MADD should be included into classification systems as a diagnostic category because it may enable patients to gain access to appropriate treatment early and help to reduce patients’ distress, prevent exacerbation to a more serious psychiatric disorder, and ultimately reduce the societal costs of this very common condition.

The Prevalence of Psychiatric Disorders in a Primary Care Practice
