Key result
GAD-2 and PHQ-2 provide practical, low-burden screening for anxiety and depression in pulmonary hypertension.
Why the study?
Routine mental health support needs integration into pulmonary hypertension care for recognition, equity, and epistemic justice.
The PHQ-2 and GAD-2 questionnaires are highlighted as practical and low-burden tools for routine mental health screening in patients with pulmonary hypertension.
Warrants routine mental health screening in pulmonary hypertension care; extends validation of brief tools to this population.
Integrating routine mental health support in pulmonary hypertension care is not just a matter of efficiency but also of recognition, equity, and epistemic justice. We provide evidence supporting the Generalised Anxiety Disorder‐2 questionnaire and the Patient Health Questionnaire‐2 as practical, psychometrically sound, and low‐burden entry points for screening anxiety and depression.
