Depression in Inpatients
162 depressed inpatients were divided into three diagnostic groups to compare patterns of sociodemographic characteristics, psychopathology, and psychosocial: 35 had a single episode of major depression, 96 had recurrent major depression, and 31 had a bipolar disorder. Psychopathology and psychosocial functioning were measured by clinician-rated scales, Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, Clinical Glob…
Social Adjustment in Bipolar and Unipolar Single-Episode and Recurrently Depressed Inpatients
Social adjustment scores were compared using the Social Adjustment scale for 24 inpatients with single-episode major depression, 72 with recurrent major depression, and 28 with bipolar disorder. There were no differences between the three groups either in overall score or on single scales
Psychological Stress and Gastric Emptying in Normal Subjects
Gastric emptying half-time was measured in 10 healthy volunteers on two different occasions over a one-week interval, with an identical test meal. The first was the control evaluation, and at the second assessment, psychological stress was induced by the technique of dichotomous listening. Psychological and physiological parameters were assessed before and during the test period. No significant or consistent modifications of gastric-emptying time…

Longitudinal evaluation of psychological distress in medical geriatric in‐patients
A longitudinal evaluation of the degree and type of psychological distress was carried out in 50 geriatric medical in‐patients, using the Symptom Distress Checklist. They were tested within three days of admission, after 12–15 days of hospital stay, and 20–30 days after discharge. The first two evaluations showed significantly higher distress than the third for almost all the subscales. Scores indicating a significant depressive distress decrease…
Depressive Symptoms before and One Year after Heart Surgery
For 57 patients undergoing major heart surgery depressive symptoms were assessed before the operation and one year afterwards. The Zung Self-rating Depression Scale was used. Mean depressive scores significantly decreased at the follow-up. However, looking at frequencies instead of mean scores indicated about one-fourth of the sample showed clinically significant depressive symptomatology one year after surgery
Social support and psychological distress of parents of children with acute lymphocytic leukaemia
The relationship between psychological distress and social support was evaluated in 26 parents of children with acute lymphocytic leukaemia during the diagnostic phase. The Symptom Distress Checklist and the Social Support Questionnaire were used. A high percentage of subjects reported a score of moderate psychological distress in four subscales of the Symptom Checklist: Obsessiveness‐Compulsiveness (46 per cent), Depression (61–5 per cent), Anxi…
Eysenck Personality Inventory and Choice of Psychiatry as a Career
Various investigations have explored motivations behind the choice of the profession of psychiatry. The presence of factors of cultural, social, economic, and psychological origin has been noted, but it is not yet clear which or how factors contribute to the choice in the most determining way. In relation to the psychological factors, emphasis has been placed on neuroticism, extraversion, emotional instability, intolerance of ambiguity, degree of…
Anxiety and Depression in Geriatric and Adult Medical Inpatients
Anxiety and depression were evaluated for two groups of medical inpatients, one of 178 geriatric subjects, the other of 201 adults, using the Anxiety Factor Score and the Depression Factor Score derived from the SCL-90. The geriatric subjects scored higher than the adults for depression. The adults scored higher for anxiety, but also had high depression scores. Women of both groups scored significantly higher than men on the depression scale. Mor…
Assessment of Anxiety and Depression in General and Psychiatric Nurses
The authors gave 56 psychiatric nurses and 69 general hospital nurses Taylor's self-assessment anxiety scale and Zung's depression scale. The psychiatric nurses' scores were significantly higher on both depression and anxiety. The authors hypothesize that this difference is a ‘reaction’ to their occupational activity
Life Events and Obstetrical Complications
The relationship between life events and some obstetrical complications was studied in a consecutive unselected series of 103 pregnant women. The Paykel interview for Recent Life Events was used. Only complications which occurred after the interview were considered to permit a prospective study. 36 women were disqualified from the study because they presented clear organic disorders or suffered from disorders in the period preceding the interview…
