Abstract
Introduction: Behçet’s disease (BD), first explained in 1937 by the Turkish dermatologist Hulusi Behçet, is a complicated multisystem syndrome described by a triad of oral, genital, and ocular ulcers. The present study aimed to investigate existence of some psychological symptoms in the patients suffering from BD.

Method: The present research was a cross-sectional one, which was conducted on a sample of 101 randomly selected patients with BD who had been followed up at Shahid Motahari Clinic, Shiraz, Southwest of Iran, from June 2011 to August 2011. All of the patients completed the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) and some demographic information, such as age and gender. All statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS statistical software (v. 17.0).

Results: According to the results, 30.7% of the patients were healthy (GSI<0.7), while others (69.3%) had different levels of symptoms (GSI>0.7). In psychiatric symptoms’ subscales, somatization (91.7%), anxiety (78%), and depression (77.78%) were the most prevalent symptoms. On the other hand, phobia had the lowest prevalence (34.1%). Based on our findings, the females’ average anxiety score was significantly higher than that of the male subjects (p= 0.013).

Conclusion: The prevalence of psychological symptoms was remarkable in the patients with BD. Therefore, physicians should monitor their patients in order to detect the possible psychiatric disorders they might develop during their disease.

Key words: Behcet, psychiatric symptom, prevalence, SCL-90-R
