G I Perini, and I Bertin, and C Mies, and C de Bertolini

After a survey of the literature on secondary depression and mania caused by physical illness or drugs, a retrospective study on 77 inpatients (seen in the hospital psychiatric consultation service) is reported. Forty per cent of patients presented a diagnosis of depression; 58% of depressed patients had at least one of the "risk factors" for secondary depression (physical illness and drugs known to cause affective disturbances) compared to 24% and 16% of patients with other or no mental disorders (p less than 0.05).
