摘要
<p>Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease with dyspnoea perception as a main symptom. In severe stages, dyspnoea can constitute a risk factor for depression, anxiety and somatization disorders.

lass="h4">Objective

<p>The objective was to evaluate the presence of these psychopathologies based on dyspnoea and severity stages in patients with COPD.

lass="h4">Materials and methods

<p>Patients (n=51) were evaluated by means of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the dyspnoea scale (MRC), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and spirometric criteria.

lass="h4">Results

<p>The increase in dyspnoea level and disease severity lead to a progressive worsening of anxiety, depressive and somatic symptoms with clinical relevance (P&lt;0.05). There was a significant correlation between those parameters (P&lt;0.05).

lass="h4">Conclusions

<p>The early detection and treatment of these psychopathologies associated with dyspnoea and progression of the disease must be taken into account in this complex pathology.
