Description
Summary:To review literature on the link between depression and anxiety in patients suffering from tinnitus. A systematic review of published English-language literature was performed using PubMed, Ovid, and Cochrane databases. Of the 56 eligible abstracts 15 were chosen to be included in the review.

Treatment for these complex conditions should involve a multidisciplinary team with cognitive behavioral therapy and possible pharmacological therapy.
