Resumen

Los autores investigaron las variables de la historia y clínicas de 159 pacientes internos afectados por trastornos del estado de ánimo para identificar variables que pudieran diferenciar formas psicóticas de no psicóticas. Los resultados mostraron que el 32% de los pacientes tenían síntomas psicóticos. Aunque no se detectaron diferencias significativas con respecto a la gravedad de la depresión, los pacientes con depresión psicótica eran más jóvenes y tenían una edad de comienzo inferior, así como una duración más breve del episodio. Estos rasgos indican que la depresión puede expresarse con o sin síntomas psicóticos, según el diferente substrato individual y, quizá, biológico. Tomados juntos, nuestros resultados parecen indicar que la depresión psicótica no se debería considerar una entidad clínica separada, sino un subtipo de los trastornos del estado de ánimo.
