The correlates of hypochondriasis in depressed patients

International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine

Abstract

Of 100 inpatients with depressive illness, fifty-three had evidence of depressed mood prior to their hypochondriacal symptoms, sixteen had the opposite sequence of development and thirty-one had no hypochondriacal symptoms. Comparisons of the three groups revealed some differences that would suggest a less severe depressed mood in association with hypochondriacal symptoms. Whether hypochondriasis preceded or followed depressed mood did not make any other difference to the total clinical picture. This should not be taken to imply that treatment and prognosis are the same in hypochondriacal and nonhypochondriacal depressions.
