Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the characteristics of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and its association with certain clinical features in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) at Military Hospital 103. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 83 MG patients treated at Military Hospital 103, from July 2024 to April 2025. Inclusion criteria were patients diagnosed with MG according to the 2022 Japanese Guidelines. Patients with a history of psychiatric disorders prior to MG onset or those receiving anti-anxiety medications at the time of assessment were excluded. GAD was diagnosed by psychiatrists according to the DSM-5 criteria, and its severity was assessed using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale. Results: The prevalence of GAD among MG patients was 36.14%, predominantly mild (33.73%), and 2.41% of cases was moderate. The most commonly reported symptom was fatigue. GAD was significantly associated with females and a history of myasthenic crisis. Conclusion: GAD is relatively common among patients with MG. Female gender and a history of myasthenic crisis were identified as significant factors associated with anxiety in patients with MG.
