Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent and debilitating condition, increasingly recognized for its complex interaction with psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression. This study assesses and compares the prevalence of anxiety and depression among COPD patients, including those with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), and examines their associations with COPD severity. This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 100 patients diagnosed with COPD, aged 40 to 80 years. Patients underwent comprehensive clinical evaluation, including spirometry and COPD assessment tests, and were assessed for anxiety and depression using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Participants were classified based on their COPD status and history of TB. Data on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics was collected, and associations between psychiatric illnesses and COPD status were analyzed. The study population was predominantly male (73%), with a mean age of 56.33 years. The COPD assessment score was medium in 65% of participants, with 30% of patients exhibiting high levels. Anxiety was present in 21% of the cohort, while 30% had depression. Analysis revealed a significant association between high COPD scores and increased prevalence of both anxiety and depression (p<0.05). Additionally, patients with a history of pulmonary TB showed higher rates of psychiatric comorbidities. Specifically, anxiety was more prevalent among patients with severe COPD and a history of TB. These findings highlight a substantial burden of anxiety and depression among COPD patients, particularly those with severe disease and a history of TB. These results align with the existing literature, suggesting a strong link between COPD severity, psychiatric comorbidities, and the impact of historical TB on mental health. These insights underscore the need for integrated management strategies addressing both respiratory and psychiatric aspects of COPD care.
