Abstract

Background: Psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression are increasingly recognized among patients undergoing surgical procedures. Undiagnosed psychiatric morbidity in elective surgical patients may adversely influence perioperative hemodynamic stability, postoperative pain perception, recovery profile, and overall surgical outcomes. Despite growing awareness, routine preoperative psychological screening remains uncommon in many tertiary care institutions. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of undiagnosed anxiety and depression among elective surgical patients and evaluate their impact on perioperative outcomes.

Aim: To determine the prevalence of undiagnosed anxiety and depression among elective surgical patients and evaluate their impact on perioperative outcomes.
