Abstract

The aim of this investigation was to establish the clinical and electromyographic pattern of tremor in patients with depression.Twenty-eight patients with depression and tremor and 30 patients with tremor and generalized anxiety disorder were investigated. Tremor was scored clinically by the Webster Tremor Scale. Electromyographic examination of tremor activity from antagonistic hand muscles was performed.Our results revealed in both groups of patients a postural and kinetic tremor with characteristics of an enhanced physiological tremor. Tremor involved only both upper limbs and no other body parts in all patients.In conclusion tremor in depression and generalized anxiety disorder is an enhanced physiological tremor.
