Zusammenfassung:We have recently shown that anxiety and depression are common comorbidities for people with interstitial lung disease (ILD). In a cross-sectional single-centre study, the prevalence of anxiety was 31% and the prevalence of depression was 23% [1].

The aims of this study were to determine the frequency of prolonged anxiety and depression among sufferers of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and factors contributing to their persistence.
