The aim – to investigate the features of the quality of life of patients with depressive disorders, taking into account gender and age characteristics.
Material and Methods. 107 men and 138 women with endogenous depressive disorders were clinically examined using quality assessment methods Mezzich et al. in the adaptation of N.O. Maruta.
Results. Patients with depressive disorders are characterized by low self-esteem of QoL, especially in the areas of psychological well-being, general perception of life, ability to work, personal realization and physical well-being. Women have lower QoL scores in the areas of physical well-being, psychological well-being, self-care and independence, ability to work, interpersonal interaction and socio-emotional support, as well as in the integrated areas of subjective well-being / satisfaction and fulfillment of social roles. The assessment of QoL by a specialist revealed higher rates of QoL in men, with significant differences were only in the areas of spiritual realization and general perception of life. The assessment of QoL by a specialist is on average 1.5 times higher than the self-assessment of patients. With age, QoL indicators in all areas deteriorate.
Conclusions. Depression is accompanied by a pronounced decrease in QoL in all areas, which is subjectively more difficult for women, but objectively more pronounced in men; this deterioration becomes more pronounced with age.
