摘要
对３２例老年期妄想性抑郁症和３６例非老年期妄想性抑郁症进行了对照分析，发现两组抑郁的表现相仿，属同一疾病单元。前者疑病、焦虑激越、思维困难、自杀行为等症状出现率较高，有明显的精神因素及躯体因素，与年龄的关系密切。
Objective:To compare delusional depression in geriatric and adult patients.Method:Respective study-case records of thirty two geriatric and thirty six adult patients with delusional depression were reviewed.Results:The symptom patterns were similar though there were more hypochondriasis,anxiety,agitation,cognitive deficit,suicidal attempt,psychological and physical precipitating factors in the geriatric sample. Both group required antipsychotics and antidepressant treatment.Discussion:There is no evidence to suggest that geriatric and adult delusional depression should be classified separately.The difference in symptomatology could be attributed to the pathoplastic factor of age.
