Abstract: Prior studies have observed a high prevalence of psychosocial distress, including depression, inpatients with voice problems. However, these studies have largely been performed in care-seeking patients identified in terti-ary care voice clinics. The objective of this study was to examine the association between depression and voice problems in the U.S. population. hese findings indicate that the co-occurrence of voice problems and depressive symptoms is observed inthe general population, not only in care-seeking patients, and that depressive symptoms may influence reported likelihood ofreceiving voice treatment and effectiveness. This suggests that voice care providers should take mental health symptoms intoaccount when treating patients, and also indicates a need for further investigation
