[Influence of Comorbidity in Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment of Anxiety and Mood Disorders].

Objectives Anxiety and depression are the most prevalent disorders observed in health care services and are frequently comorbid with other disorders.

Thus, the implications of the presence of comorbid disorders for treatment are still unknown.
