The psychological aspect of Mixed Anxiety-Depressive Disorder or MADD refers to the symptoms and conditions that impact daily living skills and can reduce the health-related quality of life. MADD has been found to be associated with childhood adversity, poor parenting, lifetime traumas, recent life events, high neuroticism, co-morbid substance use disorders, and familial aggregation. It is also associated with higher disability scores and co-morbid physical conditions than having anxiety or depression alone. Some symptoms may include feelings of fear and dread, an exaggerated startle reflex, poor concentration, irritability, and insomnia.
