Alcoholism and affective disorder: clinical course of depressive symptoms

·1995·American Journal of Psychiatry

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study compared the severity of and the change in depressive symptoms among men with alcohol dependence, affective disorder, or both disorders during 4 weeks of inpatient treatment. METHOD: After their primary and secondary psychiatric disorders were defined with the use of criteria based on chronology of symptoms, 54 unmedicated men entering treatment for alcohol dependence or affective disorder were assessed for 4 consecutive weeks with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. RESULTS: The findings indicate that the rate of remission of depressive symptoms was consistent with the primary diagnosis. Depressive symptoms remitted more rapidly among the men with primary alcoholism than among those with primary affective disorder. However, a minimum of 3 weeks of abstinence from alcohol appeared to be necessary to consistently differentiate the groups with dual diagnoses on the basis of their current depressive symptoms. Alcohol dependence occurring in conjunction with primary affective disorder did not intensify presenting depressive symptoms or retard the resolution of such symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Diagnoses of alcohol dependence and affective disorder based on symptom chronology appear to have prognostic significance with respect to remission of depressive symptoms in men with both diagnoses. Depressive symptoms of dysphoric mood, dysfunctional cognitions, vegetative symptoms, and anxiety/agitation showed different rates and levels of remission across the primary diagnostic groups.

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.
