Objectives: To identify anxiety and depression in patients attending a gastroenterology outpatient clinic in the city of Lima, and to describe the gastroenterological history and symptoms most related to these disorders. Materials and methods: 200 adult patients belonging to 32 districts of Metropolitan Lima attended from March to October 2021 were enrolled; the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) adapted by Vilela was applied. The study was descriptive-correlational and prospective sample. Results: 49% (n=98) reported anxiety, 19% (n=38) depression and 16.5% (n=33) both disorders concomitantly. Gastritis (v=0.259) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (v=0.188) showed a statistical association for both variables. Diarrhea (v=0.214) and chest pain (v=0.215) were symptoms associated with anxiety, as well as, chest pain with depression. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression are highly prevalent among patients that come to outpatient office visits, we suggest exploring these variables and offering a multidisciplinary approach to patients treated by this modality.
