25th European Congress of Psychiatry / European Psychiatry 41S (2017) S106–S169 S109
Methods Retrospective study (n = 80). Structured interviewwere
based on WHO instruments: WHO WMH CIDI and WHO Pathways
to care encounter form.
Results Average age was 38 years, more females (72.5%). The
delay periodwas 7 years (GAD = 8.7; SF = 8.2, PD = 5.9), duringwhich
at least 2 episodes of the disease. The most popular specialists
were: neurologists (19%), psychiatrists (17%) (one-time visits to
whichwere not accompanied by the appointment of a standardized
course of treatment for an adequate period of time) and therapists
(15%). Non-medical care was 10% of all studied (psychologists–5%,
healers–3%, priests–2%). SF–psychiatrists (43%), therapists (14%),
psychologists (14%); GAD–psychiatrists (22%), neurologists (19%),
psychotherapists (11%), ambulance doctor (11%); PD–therapists
(22%), neurologists (22%), ambulance doctor (17%), cardiologists
(9%).
Conclusions The findings suggest that patients with anxiety dis-
orders have a long period of delay in receiving specialized care
that causes the value of the social and economic burden of anxiety
disorders in the community.

Introduction Generalized anxiety in young adults during college
career is a serious public-health problem that untreated has a
chronic course. Research has shown that the self-report question-
naire generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) is a reliable and valid
measure to assess generalized anxiety symptoms severity in het-
erogeneous psychiatric samples. However, GAD-7 is not available
for non-clinical populations and their factor structure has not been
re-examined.
Objectives Our objective was to examine factor structure and
measurement invariance of theGAD-7 among college students test-
ing two alternatives models.
Aims The original model fit of single-factor was compared to
two-factor model that considered in comprehensive approach of
generalized anxiety the assessment of cognitive-emotional nature
and somatic symptoms.
Methods In this cross-sectional study the GAD-7 was adminis-
trated to college students (n = 1031) recruited in the six schools
which compose the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra, Portugal. Con-
firmatory factor analysis was used testing two models.
Results Among college students, 32.8% reported significant gen-
eralized anxiety symptoms. The original unidimensional structure
of GAD-7 was confirmed but the two-factor model comprising
cognitive–emotional and somatic factors presented better fit to
the data ( 2(1) = 21.01, P < 0001). This latent factor were positively
associated (r= 0.51, P < 0.001) and presented a good internal con-
sistency (˛ = 0.85 and ˛ = 0.86 for cognitive-emotional and somatic
items, respectively). The invariance factor of two-factor model
across gender was also confirmed.
Conclusions Results indicate that within college communities the
GAD-7 integrates two stable generalized anxiety factors related but
independent structure. The GAD-7 can be an adequate measure to
detected generalized anxiety symptoms in this population.

Introduction It is widely known that childhood traumatic life
situations are associated with most of the adult life psychiatric dis-
orders such as disassociative disorders, mood disorders, anxiety
disorders and so on.
Objectives and aims The purpose of this study to examine the
relationship between childhood traumatic experiences and panic
disorder development.
Methods The sample of this study consists of 59 outpatients
who applied to the department of psychiatry in addition to 61
healthy individuals serving as the control group. These 59 indi-
viduals, located within the range of 18 to 65 years, were selected
from outpatients who had been diagnosed with panic disorder
based on DSM-V diagnosis criteria who did not have any other
mental disorder. The 61 healthy individuals in the control group
were selected from hospital attendants who had not received
any psychiatric diagnosis. The participants were administered the
childhood trauma questionnaire (CTQ) and a socio-demographic
form.
Results The participants in the panic disorder group were found
to have significantly high scores in comparison to the control group
with respect to CTQ subscales (i.e., the emotional neglect and the
emotional abuse subscale) and the total CTQ score. Hence, there
exists a strong relationship between childhood traumatic experi-
ences and panic disorder development.
Conclusion The results revealed that childhood traumatic expe-
riences play an active role in the development of panic disorder.
Moreover, it was found that the type and quality of trauma experi-
enced during the childhood period is one of the predictors for the
psychiatric disease that can occur in the future years.

Introduction Proper recognition of facial expressions of emotion
is crucial for human social relationships. Impairments in the capac-
ity to process facial information may play an important role in the
etiology and maintenance of certain mental disorders, especially
music performance anxiety (MPA).
Objective To assess the recognition of facial expressions of emo-
tion in musicians compared to a group of subjects from the general
population, considering also the presence/absence of MPA.
