Resumen

Se estudió la prevalencia de la depresión psicótica y se realizó una comparación entre la depresión psicótica y no psicótica en 203 pacientes ambulatorios unipolares y bipolares consecutivos que se presentaron para tratamiento de depresión en la práctica privada de un psiquiatra La prevalencia de la depresión psicótica fue 14%. De las variables investigadas (diagnóstico unipolar/bipolar, edad en la línea de base/comienzo, género, recurrencias, rasgos atípicos, comorbilidad, cronicidad, duración de la enfermedad, gravedad en la línea de base), el diagnóstico de trastorno bipolar I era significativamente más común, y la gravedad de la depresión era significativamente mayor en la depresión psicótica frente a la no psicótica. Los resultados discordantes en las publicaciones pueden estar relacionados con las diferentes muestras estudiadas.
