Abstract

Background: Dysfunction of the vestibular system was linked with the development of psychological and sleep disorders. Vertigo is one of the most common clinical syndromes with a five percent prevalence in the adult population. Aim and Objective: To determine the depression, anxiety, stress, and sleep in vertigo patients. Material and Methods: A total of 50 male and female vertigo patients were part of the study after obtaining informed consent. Age and gender-matched 50 controls were also recruited. After recruitment, the participants underwent a general physical examination and filling out the questionnaires. Results: Age was not significantly different between the groups. Higher scores of depression were present in the cases when compared to the control group. Higher levels of anxiety were observed in the cases when compared with the control group. Significantly higher levels of stress scores were observed in the cases when compared to the control group. Significantly higher scores of insomnia were observed in the cases when compared with the control group. Conclusion: The present study results explain that there were significantly higher scores of depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia scores in the participants of the cases group when compared with the control group.
