Abstract

Cardiovascular and endocrine diseases may act as burdens for individuals suffering from one of these medical illnesses, and whether through the ensuing psychological distress, or some biological mechanisms, these medical diseases can eventually lead to the development of psychiatric morbidities. Moreover, psychiatric morbidities negatively affect the prognosis of both cardiovascular and endocrine diseases. Despite transcultural differences, Egyptian patients with ischemic heart diseases (ISHD), heart failure (HF), diabetes mellitus (DM), or thyroid diseases (TD) endure the same psychological distress as their Western counterparts. Psychiatric assessment and evaluation should be regularly repeated among patients with cardiovascular and endocrinal diseases, and patients who are at risk should be closely followed up.
