However, it is unclear which pathogenic mechanisms determine their development and could therefore be targeted in prevention or therapeutic interventions. Here, we assessed metacognitions in a sample of PAH patients with and without MDD and PD. Moreover, we reconstructed the course of mental illnesses following the PAH diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Two hundred seventeen PAH patients were included in this cross-sectional study. The prevalence of AD was assessed retrospectively using DSM-V criteria. Current mental disorders were assessed using the structured clinical interview for DSM-V. Additionally, metacognitive beliefs and processes were assessed using established questionnaires (MCQ-30, AnTI).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with an AD consecutive to the PAH diagnosis more frequently developed MDD (37.5 vs. 13.9%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001) and PD (26.3 vs. 8.8%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.001) later on compared to PAH patients without a former AD. Moreover, patients with current MDD\/PD displayed more dysfunctional metacognitions than those without current MDD\/PD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.001). Patients with current MDD\/PD in the context of former AD had more dysfunctional metacognitive worries and beliefs compared to patients with current MDD\/PD without former AD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.009).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results suggest that in the context of PAH, dysfunctional metacognitions are associated with MDD and PD. Therefore, a metacognitive approach to treat and prevent those mental illnesses seems promising and should be investigated in future
