Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has brought significant mental health challenges, particularly for vulnerable populations, including non-binary gender individuals. The COMET international study aimed to investigate specific risk factors for clinical depression or distress during the pandemic, also in these special populations. METHODS Chi-square tests were used for initial screening to select only those variables which would show an initial significance. Risk Ratios (RR) were calculated, and a Multiple Backward Stepwise Linear Regression Analysis (MBSLRA) was followed with those variables given significant results at screening and with the presence of distress or depression or the lack of both of them. RESULTS The most important risk factors for depression were female (RR = 1.59-5.49) and non-binary gender (RR = 1.56-7.41), unemployment (RR = 1.41-6.57), not working during lockdowns (RR = 1.43-5.79), bad general health (RR = 2.74-9.98), chronic somatic disorder (RR = 1.22-5.57), history of mental disorders (depression RR = 2.31-9.47; suicide attempt RR = 2.33-9.75; psychosis RR = 2.14-10.08; Bipolar disorder RR = 2.75-12.86), smoking status (RR = 1.15-5.31) and substance use (RR = 1.77-8.01). The risk factors for distress or depression that survived MBSLRA were younger age, being widowed, living alone, bad general health, being a carer, chronic somatic disorder, not working during lockdowns, being single, self-reported history of depression, bipolar disorder, self-harm, suicide attempts and of other mental disorders, smoking, alcohol, and substance use. CONCLUSIONS Targeted preventive interventions are crucial to safeguard the mental health of vulnerable groups, emphasizing the importance of diverse samples in future research. LIMITATIONS Online data collection may have resulted in the underrepresentation of certain population groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of medical illnesses is high among patients with psychiatric disorders. The current study aimed to investigate multi-comorbidity in patients with psychiatric disorders in comparison to the general population. Secondary aims were to investigate factors associated with metabolic syndrome and treatment appropriateness of mental disorders. METHODS The sample included 54,826 subjects (64.73% females; 34.15% males; 1.11% nonbinary gender) from 40 countries (COMET-G study). The analysis was based on the registration of previous history that could serve as a fair approximation for the lifetime prevalence of various medical conditions. RESULTS About 24.5% reported a history of somatic and 26.14% of mental disorders. Mental disorders were by far the most prevalent group of medical conditions. Comorbidity of any somatic with any mental disorder was reported by 8.21%. One-third to almost two-thirds of somatic patients were also suffering from a mental disorder depending on the severity and multicomorbidity. Bipolar and psychotic patients and to a lesser extent depressives, manifested an earlier (15-20 years) manifestation of somatic multicomorbidity, severe disability, and probably earlier death. The overwhelming majority of patients with mental disorders were not receiving treatment or were being treated in a way that was not recommended. Antipsychotics and antidepressants were not related to the development of metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS The finding that one-third to almost two-thirds of somatic patients also suffered from a mental disorder strongly suggests that psychiatry is the field with the most trans-specialty and interdisciplinary value and application points to the importance of teaching psychiatry and mental health in medical schools and also to the need for more technocratically oriented training of psychiatric residents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current study aimed to investigate the rates of anxiety, clinical depression, and suicidality and their changes in health professionals during the COVID-19 outbreak. MATERIALS AND METHODS The data came from the larger COMET-G study. The study sample includes 12,792 health professionals from 40 countries (62.40% women aged 39.76 ± 11.70; 36.81% men aged 35.91 ± 11.00 and 0.78% non-binary gender aged 35.15 ± 13.03). Distress and clinical depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm, respectively. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests, multiple forward stepwise linear regression analyses, and Factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested relations among variables. RESULTS Clinical depression was detected in 13.16% with male doctors and 'non-binary genders' having the lowest rates (7.89 and 5.88% respectively) and 'non-binary gender' nurses and administrative staff had the highest (37.50%); distress was present in 15.19%. A significant percentage reported a deterioration in mental state, family dynamics, and everyday lifestyle. Persons with a history of mental disorders had higher rates of current depression (24.64% vs. 9.62%; p < 0.0001). Suicidal tendencies were at least doubled in terms of RASS scores. Approximately one-third of participants were accepting (at least to a moderate degree) a non-bizarre conspiracy. The highest Relative Risk (RR) to develop clinical depression was associated with a history of Bipolar disorder (RR = 4.23). CONCLUSIONS The current study reported findings in health care professionals similar in magnitude and quality to those reported earlier in the general population although rates of clinical depression, suicidal tendencies, and adherence to conspiracy theories were much lower. However, the general model of factors interplay seems to be the same and this could be of practical utility since many of these factors are modifiable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is one of today's most concerning health problems due to increased cardiovascular risk, which is still the leading cause of death. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is certainly one of the important risk factors that links obesity and cardiovascular risk. There is a great need to evaluate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in obese patients. Today, there are easily available and applicable questionnaires (Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), STOP, STOP-Bang (SBQ), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)) that could be very useful in clinical practice for this very purpose. The aim of this paper is to investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the questionnaires for OSA screening in obese patients with and without OSA. PATIENTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out in the tertiary healthcare centre. The following questionnaires were used: ESS, STOP, SBQ, ISI, PSQI. 70 (58 female) adult patients with obesity (body mass index (BMI) > 30 kg/m2) were included. RESULTS SBQ showed sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 75% at cut-off of 5.5 with the Youden index of 0.5, while PSQI had sensitivity of 78%, specificity of 67% at cut-off of 17.75 with slightly smaller Youden index 0.45. STOP and ESS had a sensitivity of 77% and 75%, respectively but with an even smaller Youden index (0.23 and 0.21), and ISI had the lowest sensitivity of 59% and the lowest Youden index (0.13) of the questionnaires we examined. CONCLUSION Our study results suggest that SBQ and PSQI are best screening tools in detecting OSA in patients with obesity. Further study of these questionnaires and possible modifications are certainly important for future research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION During the COVID-19 pandemic various degrees of lockdown were applied by countries around the world. It is considered that such measures have an adverse effect on mental health but the relationship of measure intensity with the mental health effect has not been thoroughly studied. Here we report data from the larger COMET-G study pertaining to this question. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the COVID-19 pandemic, data were gathered with an online questionnaire from 55,589 participants from 40 countries (64.85% females aged 35.80 ± 13.61; 34.05% males aged 34.90±13.29 and 1.10% other aged 31.64±13.15). Anxiety was measured with the STAI, depression with the CES-D and suicidality with the RASS. Distress and probable depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm respectively. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS It included the calculation of Relative Risk (RR), Factorial ANOVA and Multiple backwards stepwise linear regression analysis RESULTS: Approximately two-thirds were currently living under significant restrictions due to lockdown. For both males and females the risk to develop clinical depression correlated significantly with each and every level of increasing lockdown degree (RR 1.72 and 1.90 respectively). The combined lockdown and psychiatric history increased RR to 6.88 The overall relationship of lockdown with severity of depression, though significant was small. CONCLUSIONS The current study is the first which reports an almost linear relationship between lockdown degree and effect in mental health. Our findings, support previous suggestions concerning the need for a proactive targeted intervention to protect mental health more specifically in vulnerable groups.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Previous research has demonstrated relations between lower level of personality organization (PO) and multiple indices of mental health disturbances. The goal of this research was to examine whether experience of shame would mediate the relationship between PO and depressive symptoms in a sample of 321 Croatian psychiatric outpatients (64% female; mean age, 38.67 years). The total PO level exhibited positive associations with depressive symptoms and with all three subscales of shame ( p < 0.01). Characterological, behavioral, and bodily shame showed significant mediating effects in the PO-depression relationship, while controlling for the influence of age and sex. PO level seems to be strongly related to depressive disturbances, with the experience of shame representing one of the underlying mechanisms of this relationship. Given that patients with personality disorders ( i.e. , low PO level) suffer from poorer treatment outcomes for major mental disorders, more emphasis should be placed on psychotherapeutic management of shame-proneness.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are few published empirical data on the effects of COVID-19 on mental health, and until now, there is no large international study. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the COVID-19 pandemic, an online questionnaire gathered data from 55,589 participants from 40 countries (64.85% females aged 35.80 ± 13.61; 34.05% males aged 34.90±13.29 and 1.10% other aged 31.64±13.15). Distress and probable depression were identified with the use of a previously developed cut-off and algorithm respectively. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square tests, multiple forward stepwise linear regression analyses and Factorial Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) tested relations among variables. RESULTS Probable depression was detected in 17.80% and distress in 16.71%. A significant percentage reported a deterioration in mental state, family dynamics and everyday lifestyle. Persons with a history of mental disorders had higher rates of current depression (31.82% vs. 13.07%). At least half of participants were accepting (at least to a moderate degree) a non-bizarre conspiracy. The highest Relative Risk (RR) to develop depression was associated with history of Bipolar disorder and self-harm/attempts (RR = 5.88). Suicidality was not increased in persons without a history of any mental disorder. Based on these results a model was developed. CONCLUSIONS The final model revealed multiple vulnerabilities and an interplay leading from simple anxiety to probable depression and suicidality through distress. This could be of practical utility since many of these factors are modifiable. Future research and interventions should specifically focus on them.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this study was to review the recent literature on contemporary psychological perspectives of personality disorders, including novel psychotherapeutic interventions aimed at these vulnerable individuals. RECENT FINDINGS Among the various psychological theories and models of personality disorders, still the most popular and researched are psychodynamic, cognitive and interpersonal perspectives. More specifically, object relations theory, cognitive schema conceptualization and interpersonal circumplex model have produced the most empirical investigations of personality disorders in recent years. Latest work has suggested that all three perspectives have contributed to and are compatible with the dimensional personality disorders framework in DSM-5-AMPD and ICD-11 (including level of personality functioning and personality traits). These models have yielded specific psychological treatments of personality disorders; although most psychotherapies have been constructed for patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD), there is an increasing number of treatment modalities aimed at individuals with other forms of personality disorder, such as those with narcissistic or antisocial traits/disorders. More research into their effectiveness and long-term benefits is necessary. SUMMARY Novel research keeps updating our knowledge on the cause, manifestations and psychological treatments of personality disorders, particularly from psychodynamic, cognitive and interpersonal perspectives.

Abstract
Introduction Obesity is one of the leading problems of today’s society. According to WHO, 650 million people worldwide are obese, which is 13% of total population (in Croatia 21.5%). There are various psychodynamic theories that interpret the psychological aspects of obesity. Objectives The aim of this paper is to present psychodynamic and contemporary psychiatric concepts that explain the interrelated phenomena presenting in obese patients. Methods The review of the literature included the investigation of the existing studies in the field of modern psychiatry, as well as previous knowledge in the field of psychodynamics. Results Obesity is associated with the emptiness of not recognizing one’s own emotions from hunger, and the need for constant replacement. The everyday life of the obese is filled with shame, an uncomfortable perception that is so intense that can be unbearable. The emptiness and shame which overwhelm and create discomfort cannot be fulfilled by constant food intake and are associated with pathological narcissism (grandiose or vulnerable), which in turn is associated with more regressive behaviour. Thus, obesity may sometimes be associated with addictive behaviours, and a cognition that a bad pattern of rewarding behaviour through food has been adopted in parallel with poor self-control. Conclusions Relationship between psychodynamic phenomena and obesity is complex and multidimensional. Further research is needed in order to ameliorate our understanding of these connections. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endometriosis is a chronic and progressive disease which can significantly affect a woman's personal, as well as intimate and professional aspects of life. The aim of this study was to asses health-related quality of life and mental health status in patients with endometriosis, investigating also their relationship with endometriosis-related comorbid symptoms and conditions, such as pain and infertility. SUBJECTS AND METHODS An observational cross-sectional study involved 79 women with endometriosis. All patients filled the Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-5), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Their medical data were retrieved from medical records. Data was analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). RESULTS Of all the patients evaluated in our study, 44.3% presented depressive symptoms and 25.3% presented anxiety, while 31.7% reported stress symptoms. Moderate correlations were found between results on EHP-5 and depression (r=0.515), stress (r=0.558) and VAS score (r=0.565). Furthermore, weak positive relationship was observed between EHP-5 and anxiety (r=0.295) and infertility (r=0.267). Additionally, moderate correlation was found between depression and infertility (r=0.519), while there was weak association between VAS score and stress (r=0.236). CONCLUSIONS This study showed complex relationships between symptoms and conditions manifesting in patients with endometriosis. Due to diversity of symptoms, potentially including mental health issues, it is important to emphasize the need for combined personalized treatment for these patients, taking into account both physical and psychological aspect of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Comorbidities in multiple sclerosis (MS) have a big role in management of this chronic demyelinating neurodegenerative disorder. The aim of this study was to evaluate comorbidities in patients with MS in Croatia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional study carried out in an out-patient setting at a tertiary healthcare centre over 10 months, which included 101 consecutive patients with MS (mean age 42.09 (range 19-77) years, 75 female, 26 male, EDSS score 3.1 (range 0.0-7.0)). The average duration of the disease was 13.5±7.487 (range 1-42) years. Thirty-six patients were treated with disease modifying therapies (DMTs). Information on comorbidities was obtained during the medical interview. Data was analysed using software package IBM Corp. Released 2015. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. RESULTS 33% (n=34) patients did not have any comorbidities, and there is an equal number of patients (n=34, 33%) that just had one comorbidity. 17.6% (n=18) of patients had two comorbidities, and 15.7% (n=16) three or more comorbidities. The most frequent comorbidity was depression found in 25 (24.75%) patients (19 (18.8%) women, 6 (5.9%) men), followed by the hypertension in 12.87% (n=13). Hyperlipidemia and migraine were each found in 6.93% (n=7), and hypothyreosis and arrhythmia each in 3.96% (n=4). The number of the comorbidities was found to significantly increase with the duration of MS (r=0.232, p=0.037). Women were found to have significantly bigger numbers of comorbidities than men (t=-2.59, df=74, p<0.05). Older patients with MS were found to have significantly more comorbidities (r=0.335, p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study gives insight into the presence of comorbidities in Croatian patients with MS. Connection with comorbidities must be considered when managing patients with MS. Any other comorbidity in MS may also affect the condition of the patient in general, and also their quality of life, and requires a tailored approach in management.

Abstract
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a chronic inflammatory neurodegenerative disease, is accompanied by a number of comorbidities. Among the psychiatric ones, depression and anxiety occupy a special place. It is estimated that the prevalence of anxiety in the MS population is 22.1% verus 13% in the general population; whereas the prevalence of anxiety levels, as determined by various questionnaires, reaches even 34.2%. Systematic literature reviews (SPL) show considerable data variations due to differences in study design, sample size, diagnostic criteria and extremely high heterogeneity (I2). Among the more conspicuous factors associated with anxiety disorder in MS are demographic factors (age and gender), nonsomatic depressive symptoms, higher levels of disability, immunotherapy treatments, MS type, and unemployment. Depression is the most common psychiatric commorbidity in MS and the lifetime risk of developing depression in MS patients is >50%. According to some research, the prevalence of depression in MS vary between 4.98% and 58.9%, with an average of 23.7% (I2=97.3%). Brain versus spinal cord lesions, as well as temporal lobe, fasciculus arcuatus, superior frontal and superior parietal lobe lesions in addition to the cerebral atrophy have been shown to be the anatomical predictors of depressive disorder in MS. Hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and the consequent dexamethasone-insupressible hypercortisolemia, in addition to cytokine storm (IL-6, TNF-α, TGFβ1, IFNγ/IL-4) present the endocrine and inflammatory basis for development of depression. Fatigue, insomnia, cognitive dysfunction, spasticity, neurogenic bladder, pain, and sexual dysfunction have shown to be additional precipitating factors in development of anxiety and depression in MS patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with obesity may have symptoms of sexual dysfunction (SD). Little is known about these symptoms in obese patients in Croatia and the aim of this study was to explore them. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study carried out in tertiary healthcare centre at the Croatian Obesity Treatment Referral Center in University Hospital Center of Zagreb. 103 patients (72 female, 31 male, mean age 48.7±11.87 years, mean BMI 40.42) were included. SD symptoms were assessed using the internationally acclaimed questionnaire Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX), that was recently validated for Croatian language. Patients were also administered a questionnaire, prepared for this purpose, that enquired about their previous known chronic disorders. Statistical analyses included t-test, chi-squared test and bivariate Pearson's correlations. RESULTS Average total response on the questionnaire was 12.4 (women 13.2, range 3-30; men 10.6, range from 5-19). A total score of 19 or more was present in 5 (4.8 %, range from 19-30, average 22.4; 1 man, 4 women), at least one question with a score 5 or greater on any item was found in 36 (34.9 %, 5 men, 31 women), while a score of 4 or more on three items was found in 20 patients (19.4 %, 2 men, 18 women). Overall median response was 3 (range 1-6). Women were found to have more pronounced symptoms of SD (p<0.05). The overall results on ASEX were found to be in significant correlation with regard to depression (r=0.22, p=0.03), as well as anxiety (r=0.2, p=0.04). Significant correlations were also found with regard to age (r=0.31), mobility (r=0.25), and pain/uneasiness (r=0.22) (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study brings valuable observations on the presence of SD symptoms in obese patients in Croatia. SD symptoms were found to be present in up to one-third of our patients, more pronounced in women, and in significant correlation with depression and anxiety. However, median response on ASEX suggests that overall SD symptoms in our group of patients are not that expressed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both depression and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) may be present in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objective of this study was to give an insight on depression and LUTS in patients with MS in Croatia and to determine the possible association between LUTS and depression in patients with MS. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional study conducted in a tertiary healthcare center in Croatia. Hundred and one consecutive patients with MS (75 female, 26 male, mean age 42.09 (range 19-77) years, mean Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 3.1 (range 0.0-7.0)) participated in this study. We evaluated LUTS and related quality of life (QoL) using three International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires (ICIQ) enquiring about overactive bladder (ICIQ-OAB), urinary incontinence short form (ICIQ-UI SF) and lower urinary tract symptoms related quality of life (ICIQLUTS-QoL). ICIQ-OAB and ICIQLUTS-QoL were for this purpose with permission successfully translated and validated into Croatian, while ICIQ-UI SF was already previously validated for the Croatian language. Information regarding treatment for depression was obtained during the medical interview. Data were analyzed and interpreted using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, version 23.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, N.Y., USA). RESULTS 89.10% (N=90) patients with MS reported urgency with urge urinary incontinence (UUI) present in 70.29% (N=71). 81.18% (N=82) patients reported nocturia, and 90.09% (N=91) reported feeling drowsy or sleepy during the day due to bladder symptoms. Neurological deficit measured by EDSS was found to positively correlate with LUTS on all three questionnaires: ICIQ-OAB (r=0.390, p<0.05), ICIQ-UI SF (r=0.477, p<0.01) and ICIQ-LUTSQoL (r=0.317, p<0.05). 25 patients were in treatment for depression. There were no significant differences between female and male patients regarding treatment for depression (χ2=0.018, df=1, p>0.05). Results on ICIQ-UI SF showed that depressive patients had more pronounced LUTS (t=2.067, df=99, p<0.05), which was also true for the ICIQ-LUTSQoL (t=-2.193, df=99, p<0.05). Positive correlations were found between depression and LUTS on ICIQ-UI SF (r=0.203, p<0.05) and ICIQ-LUTSQoL (r=0.215, p<0.05). CONCLUSION This study gives insight into the presence of depression and LUTS in Croatian patients with MS for which purpose ICIQ-OAB and ICIQ-LUTSQoL were with permission successfully translated and validated into Croatian. The connection between depression and LUTS must be considered when managing patients with MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with obesity may experience lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Little is known about these symptoms in obese patients in Croatia. The aim of this study was to asses LUTS in this group of patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary healthcare centre. 111 participants were included (81 women and 30 men, age 23-78 years), with BMI>30 kg/m2. LUTS were evaluated using International consultation on incontinence questionnaires (ICIQ) investigating symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB) and urinary incontinence (UI): ICIQ-OAB and ICIQ-UI Short Form (SF). We evaluated also some of the questions on the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. RESULTS On ICIQ-OAB patients most often reported:UI (46.85% (N=52)), nocturia (42.34% (N=47)) and increased frequency of urination (34.23% (N=38)), and on ICIQ-UI SF: UI when coughing and sneezing (44.44% (N=32)), urgency UI (43.06% (N=31)) and UI during exercise/physical activity (22.22% (N=16)). Women were found to be more significantly affected by OAB symptoms (p<0.05). Significant correlations were found between the overall results on ICIQ-OAB and hypertension (r=0.32). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study confirm that obese patients in Croatia experience LUTS as well. A higher incidence of LUTS was found among women and gender-independent among hypertensive obese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both depression and sexual dysfunction (SD) may be present in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible association between SD and depression in patients with MS in Croatia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS This was a prospective cross-sectional study carried out in tertiary healthcare centre over 10 months, which included 101 consecutive pwMS (mean age 42.09 (range 19-77) years, 75 female, 26 male, EDSS score 3.1 (range 0.0-7.0)). SD was assessed using Multiple Sclerosis Intimacy and Sexuality Questionnaire (MSISQ), which was for this purpose successfully translated and validated into Croatian. Information on treatment for depression was obtained during the medical interview. Data were analysed and interpreted using parametric statistics (IBM Corp. Released 2015. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 23.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). RESULTS 89 patients completed MSISQ. 25 patients were in treatment for depression, while 75 did not have depressive symptoms. On MSISQ 57 (43 women, 14 men) patients had responded with 'almost always/ always' suggestive of SD. Majority of patients reported primary SD, followed by secondary and tertiary SD. Most difficulties were found regarding difficulty in getting or keeping a satisfactory erection (34.6% (N=9) men), followed by 32.9% (N=27) reporting that it takes too long to orgasm or climax, followed with bladder or urinary symptoms in 32.6% (N=29). There were no significant differences between female and male patients regarding treatment for depression (χ2=0.018, df=1, p>0.05). Results in all subcategories on t-test found that depressive patients had higher impact on SD when compared to non-depressive: overall (t=-2.691, df=87, p<0.01) and in regards to primary (t=-2.086, df=87, p<0.05), secondary (t=-2.608, df=87, p<0.05) and tertiary (t=-2.460, df=86, p<0.05) SD. Depressive patients on 7 questions showed significantly (p<0.05) higher SD symptoms: Muscle tightness or spasms in my arms, legs, or body; Tremors or shaking in hands or body; Pain, burning, or discomfort in their body; Feeling less attractive; Fear of being rejected sexually because of MS; Lack of sexual interest or desire; Less intense or pleasurable orgasms or climaxes. CONCLUSIONS This study gives insight into the presence of depression and SD in Croatian patients with MS for which purpose valid questionnaire for the assessment of SD in MS patients MSISQ was with permission successfully translated and validated into Croatian. The connection between depression and SD must be considered when managing patients with MS.
