    Abstract

    The family is the center of affection, love and upbringing and the basis of the formation of social life. It is the most basic and basic social form and component. A healthy society depends on the health of the family and the realization of its health depends on the mental health of its members, and every society needs to maintain and expand its values ??in the form of a family for its continuity and survival. The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between anxiety and depression with marital conflicts in the clients of NAJA counseling and support centers in Kermanshah. The statistical population of the research includes all the people who in 2013 went to the counseling and assistance departments of the police force in Kermanshah to investigate and resolve their marital conflicts and family disputes. Among them, 100 people have been selected by random and accessible sampling method. Cattle's anxiety questionnaire, Beck's depression scale and marital conflicts questionnaire (MCQ) were used to collect data. The research design is of the correlation type, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, regression analysis and T-test were used to analyze the data. The results of the analysis of the findings showed that there is a significant positive correlation between anxiety and depression with marital conflicts (P?0.01). And depression and anxiety predict marital conflicts. From the results of the research, it can be concluded that marital conflicts are the cause of increasing depression and anxiety among couples. Key words: marital conflicts-anxiety-depression In the following, depression, anxiety and marital conflicts will be studied and investigated from different psychological perspectives and theories. Then the internal and external background will be discussed.

    2-2 Anxiety

    Refers to a state in which a person is excessively worried, tense and upset about something terrible happening in the future. Anxiety has both cognitive and emotional elements. When you are anxious, you feel that something terrible is about to happen that you have no power to change. Then you focus on your inner concerns, becoming alarmed or hypervigilant about possible danger or threats. Anxiety is more future-oriented and general, and it becomes a cause of clinical concern when it reaches such a large level that it disrupts the ability to function in daily life, so that the person is in a maladaptive state characterized by severe physical and mental reactions. These experiences, intense, irrational and overwhelming, are the basis of anxiety disorders. Anxiety includes feelings of uncertainty, helplessness and physiological arousal (Sarason [1], 1987). It was introduced for the first time in the 15th century in the sense of collective pressure. From an emotional point of view, anxiety causes self-illness, absenteeism from work, abuse of psychoactive substances, and a decrease in self-esteem (Nourian et al., 2010).

    Freud considers anxiety to be an everyday phenomenon and a way to explain mental irritation (Khoda Panahi, 2010). Anxiety is usually defined as a diffuse, vague and unpleasant feeling of fear and worry (Sarason, 1987). Anxiety is an emotion that causes people to feel anxious and worried and forces them to change their compromises (Kamkari, 2015). Freud divided anxiety into three types:

    A - Real anxiety: it is experienced when a person is faced with external threats and dangers.

    B - Neurotic anxiety[2]: It occurs when the impulses of the institution[3] threaten the person against cutting off his control and the emergence of behaviors that will lead to his punishment.

    C - Moral anxiety[4]: When it appears that a person has done or even intends to do something contrary to his moral conscience or moral values ??and feels guilty because of this (Azad, 1378)

    2-2-1 The nature of anxiety disorders

    People suffering from anxiety disorders[5] are helpless due to chronic and intense feelings of anxiety. These feelings are so strong that people with these disorders are unable to do their daily activities. Their anxiety is unpleasant and prevents them from enjoying normal situations, but in addition, they try to avoid situations that make them feel anxious. As a result, they lose opportunities to have fun or act according to their desires. The lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders for women is 30.5% and 19.2% for men. A superficial look at the statistics of psychiatrists and psychologists in Iran shows that the disorders in question are the most common reason for visiting these specialists. Maybe all of them tried a lot to control the various symptoms of their disease, especially the emotional symptoms, but due to their ineffectiveness, they inevitably went to the therapists. In other words, all of them have used ineffective strategies before referring. In addition, due to the negative attitude of the Iranian people towards mental disorders and competent therapists, the personal effort to control these symptoms is much more serious and often after enduring many and long sufferings of these disorders, a decision is made to receive specialized help. Since most of these people don't have enough knowledge of the appropriate strategies to reduce their discomfort and usually come with a relatively long distance from the onset of their illness, it is natural that their illness becomes chronic and reduces the effectiveness of specialized treatments (Seyd Mohammadi, 1379). 2-2-2 Panic disorder People suffering from panic disorder suffer from panic attacks. These attacks are periods of intense fear and physical discomfort, so that the affected people feel that they are out of control and cannot control themselves. The onset of these attacks is sudden and usually peaks within 10 minutes. Shortness of breath, rapid breathing, dizziness or feeling of imbalance, feeling of suffocation, heart palpitations, shaking, sweating, upset stomach, feeling unreal, feeling numb or mumbling, feeling hot or cold, feeling uncomfortable in the chest, fear of dying or losing control, are among the feelings that a person experiences during a panic attack. While this is happening, the person has a sense of impending doom and a strong desire to escape. It is diagnosed when panic attacks are repeated. However, the diagnosis of this disorder is almost rare, and its lifetime prevalence has been estimated from 1.4 to 2.9% in the United States and other countries of the world (Wiseman et al., 1997).

    Most cases of panic disorder are found in people who are approximately 20 years old, and people in their 30s and 40s are in second place. This disorder is relatively rare among children and adolescents (Olen-Dick, Mathis, Woking, 1994). And it is less likely to occur in old age (Skagin, Floyd, Wofford, 2000). In women, it is almost twice as much as in men. Panic attacks include: 1- Unexpected panic attack (unstimulated) 2- Situational panic attack (stimulated) 3- Situational panic attack. 2-2-3 Agora phobia

    Over time, people with panic disorder learn from places where They are afraid to avoid. However, this type of avoidance can lead to a related disorder called agoraphobia, which is an intense anxiety about being trapped, helpless, or embarrassed in a situation, without help in the event of a panic attack. , or it is a special situation that creates an immediate anxiety response, causes a lot of disruption in performance, and leads to avoidance behavior. Specific phobias are relatively common, so that their prevalence in community samples is between 4 and 8.8% (American Psychiatric Association, 2000).

    2-2-3-2 Social phobia

    People with social phobia [7], experience great anxiety in almost all situations where others observe them.
