Resumen

La ansiedad y la depresión están entrelazadas a menudo, como demuestran los estudios clínicos, epidemiológicos, psicofarmacológicos e incluso genéticos. Sin embargo, son escasos los datos bioquímicos y electrofisiológicos sólidos de la unión o separación de los trastornos del estado de ánimo y de ansiedad. Los potenciales evocados auditivos del tallo cerebral (BSAEPs) se pueden medir de manera sencilla y no invasiva en los pacientes psiquiátricos y reflejan procesos neurofisiológicos en este lugar del cerebro. El propósito del presente estudio era evaluar los BSAEPs en pacientes que sufrían trastorno de pánico o depresión mayor y no tomaban medicación y compararlos con controles sanos. Se diagnosticó a los pacientes (n = 26; pánico = 16, depresión = 10) según los criterios del Manual Diagnóstico y Estadístico (DSM) III-R evaluados por las Escalas de Valoración de Hamilton para la Ansiedad y para la Depresión, y todos pasaron por un período de limpieza del organismo de las medicaciones de 3 semanas. Todos los sujetos (n = 36) completaron el estudio. La latencia del componente N3 disminuyó en el grupo de pacientes (P < 0,05), el intervalo N3-5 se alargó (P < 0,05), la latencia del componente N3 correlacionó con las puntuaciones de ansiedad y las puntuaciones de depresión correlacionaron con los períodos de latencia de los componentes N3 y N5. En conclusión, la pequeña muestra que utilizamos demostró la presencia de variables electrofisiológicas compartidas en el trastorno de pánico y la depresión, lo que da nuevo apoyo al concepto de trastorno de espectro.
