Abstract

Objective: Major depression and dysthymia, categori¬zed under depressive disorders in DSM-III-R are differen¬tiated in terms of their duration and severity by definiti¬on. The aim of this study is to compare the differences in symptomatology of these two disorders. Method: Twenty eight patients with major depression and 32 patients with ., dysthymia who attended an outpatient department of a general teaching hospital and diagnosed acording to DSM-III-R were included in the study. Symptomatology were determined by using Hamilton Raing Scale for Dep¬ression (HRSD) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRSA). Results: Statistical analysis pointed out that for major depression, feeling of tension, depressed mood, anorexia, and difficulties in work and activities; for dysthymia, symptoms of genitourinary tract were discri¬minating. Conclusion: These results pointed out that the¬se two disorders were differentiated in terms of sympto¬matology both quantitatively and qualitatively; and me¬lancholic symptoms dominanting in major depression, neurotic symptoms in dyshymia.

Özet

DSM-IIIrR' de depresif bozukluklar kümesi al¬tında yer alan major depresyon ve distimi tanurî gereği belirtilerin süresi ve şiddeti açısından farklılıklar taşı¬maktadır. Bu çalışmada, belirti örüntüsü yönünden her iki grup bozukluk arasındaki farklılıkların araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu amaçla, bir genel eğitim hastanesi psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran ve DSM-III-R'ye göre major depresyon tanısı konan 28~ve distimi ta¬nısı konan 32 hasta çalışmaya alınmıştır. Belirtiler Ha¬milton Depresyonu Derecelendirme Ölçeği (HDDÖ) ve Hamilton Anksiyeteyi Derecelendirme Ölçeği (HADÖ) kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular: İstatistiksel çözüm¬leme sonucunda, major depresyon için geriHm duygusu, genitoüriner sistem belirtileri ayrıt edici olarak saptanmıştır. Tartştna: Her iki bozukluğun hem nicel hem nitel belirti örüntüsü açısından ayrıldığı ve major depresyonda melankolik, distimide ise nevrotik be¬lirtilerin egemen olduğu gösterilmiştir.
