Anxiety and depressive disorders are among the most prevalent psychiatric disorders, yet there aren’t many studies adressing treatment modalities in daily hospitals.

The aim of our study is to present organisational structure and treatment modalities in Daily hospital for non-psychotic disorders in University Psychiatric Clinic “Sveti Ivan“, Zagreb, Croatia.

All patients in Daily Hospital attend 6 months programme. The treatment programme consists of psychodynamic group psychotherapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, occupational therapy, antistress and mindfulness workshops, psychoeducational workshops, cinema therapy and sociotherapy. Along with clinical follow-up, all the patients are given sociodemographic questionnaire designed for our programme, World Health Organisation Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQoL BREF) and The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale 21 (DASS-21).

At discharge moderate to significant improvement was observed in different aspects of functioning among most of the participants, verified by clinical follow-up as well as by results obtained through questionnaires.

Our data show that patients with anxiety and depressive disorders can be efffectively treated by such comprehensive treatment approach.
