L P Kok, and I L Yap, and R Y Guan

A group of 23 non-ulcer dyspepsia patients were compared with controls drawn from relatives of psychiatric outpatients. The level of hostility in both groups was high, but not significantly different. There was also no significant difference between the 2 groups on measures of extroversion, neuroticism, psychoticism and lie scores, but the ulcer group was significantly more depressed and more were diagnosed as suffering from a neurotic depression and generalized anxiety disorder.
