Objective  To investigate the present status of anxiety and depression in patients through video electroencephalogram examination and analyze the influencing factors, providing a basis for clinical intervention. Methods  A questionnaire survey was conducted on 177 patients at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University using the general information and disease-related data questionnaire, the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS). Results  The SAS and SDS scores of the patients in this study were significantly higher than the domestic norms (P<0.01). The detection rates of anxiety and depressive moods were 18.08% and 32.77%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for anxiety in these patients included disease duration, head discomfort, and the psychological burden of inducing experiments. The risk factors for depression included disease duration, head discomfort, and occupational factors. Conclusion Patients in this study generally exhibited anxiety and depressive moods. Their anxiety and depression are influenced by various factors. Targeted psychological interventions should be implemented to improve their mental health.
