In our prospective study we analyzed 30 of patients (20 females) with anxious depressive disorders, mean age 37,6 ± 10,8 (20-57) years, treated with antidepressive agents. For 18 months there have been used Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Back Hopelessness Scale (BHS) and GAF on the beginning, at the end of treatment (after 12 months), and 6 months after treatment. At the beginning of treatment next mean values were observed: BDI 42,5 ± 13,1, BAI 32,6 ± 14,7, BHS 9,2± 6,9, and GAF 51,9 ± 9,1.

GAF shoved negative correlation in comparison with BAI (-0,60), BDI (-0,66), and BHS (-0,54). After one year of medication mean value of improvements were: for BDI 31,7 ± 10,8, for BAI 24,1 ± 13,3, for BHS 7,5 ± 5,8, and for GAF 13,2 ± 5,4. GAF still highly correlated with BDI (-69), with BAI (-0.56) and with BSB (-0.44). Six months after all parameters were significantly worsen: BDI 5,1 ± 2,3, BAI 4,2 ± 2,8, BHS 1,5 ± 1,8, and GAF -5,0 ± 1,4. GAF still correlated with BDI (-0,41), BAI (-0,39), but correlation rate with BHS was very low (-0,23).
