Fifty three percentage of patients were men and 47% were women. The most prevalence psychial disorder in this study was depression with 66.2% and the least one was psychosis with 16%. Depression intensity in 73% of patients was light. Moderate and vigarous intensities in patients were 26% and 1% respectively. The percentages of anxiety and obsession with different level intensites (light, moderate and vigarous) were 85%, 15%, 0% and 79%, 18%, 3% respectively.
In this study depression and agitation were the most common of psychial disorder agents in patients with chest pain, origin noncardiac. This fact showed a similarity with other studies, while agitation was the most common agent of the chest pain in some studies. It seems this difference arising from cultural diversity of patients.
