Abstract

The nosological status of major depression with mood‐congruent psychotic features was explored by a cross‐sectional demographic, clinical and biological assessment and a 7‐year prospective follow‐up of 2 samples of patients fulfilling, respectively, DSM‐III criteria for this condition and for major depression without psychotic features. The 2 patient groups did not differ with respect to demographic and historical features, response to DST and outcome. The global severity of the index episode was greater in psychotics. All nonpsychotics and 69% of psychotics were treated with antidepressants alone or in combination with benzodiazepines, whereas the addition of neuroleptics was required only in 31% of psychotics. A tendency towards an interepisodic diagnostic stability was verified in nonpsychotics more than in psychotics, but was less pronounced than that reported by the authors advocating the nosological autonomy of delusional depression. These data support the view that major depression with mood‐congruent psychotic features is not a distinct diagnostic entity, but rather a more severe depressive subtype.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
