N2  - PURPOSE: To assess the association between the interaction of anxiety and depression on the suicidal ideation, quality of life (QOL), and work productivity/impairment in Lebanon.  DESIGN: Cross-sectional.  METHODS: 1487 participants were enrolled between November 2017 and March 2018.  RESULTS: The interaction of anxiety and depression (β = .101), higher depression alone (β = .021), higher anxiety traits (STAI-B) (β = .007) were associated with higher suicidal ideation. Higher depression (β = 1.177), having more anxiety traits (STAI-B) (β = .485) and higher anxiety (STAI-A) (β = .298) were associated with higher activity impairment. Higher depression, higher anxiety traits and state, were associated with lower mental and physical QOL.  PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Screening for anxiety and depression can help clinicians improve patients' QOL and work productivity and decrease the suicidal ideation risk.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
