[Comorbidity of tinnitus and psychiatric disorders].

If anxiety-related disorders or depressive episodes occur along with tinnitus disease, psychiatric treatment can become necessary. Also, tinnitus coincides with psychoses. It has been shown that patients suffering from psychic disturbances can also develop tinnitus phenomena, which must be treated differently from the basic disease. So these patients can suffer additionally (and also independently!) from tinnitus,which requires separate, differentiated ear, nose, and throat treatment.
