Psychiatric Profile and Attention Deficits in POTS
There was no increased prevalence of major depression or anxiety disorders in patients with POTS compared with the general population.
Patients with POTS had:
Mild depression.
Moderate anxiety score according to the Beck Anxiety Inventory, but not a high level of anxiety sensitivity—this means patients appear anxious without cognitive anxiety.
Significantly higher inattention and ADHD scores than control subjects.
