Stability of the postpsychotic depression syndrome. 1986

S G Siris, and A Rifkin, and G T Reardon, and S R Doddi, and A Strahan, and K S Hall

Fifteen consecutively identified patients with syndromally defined postpsychotic depression were followed prospectively over three consecutive weekly ratings to assess the stability of that syndrome. In 8 cases, the condition persisted with undiminished intensity. Five cases remitted spontaneously, and in 2 cases the syndrome appeared to be a harbinger of psychotic relapse. The implications for the timing of therapeutic interventions in patients with postpsychotic depressions are discussed.
