Expansion of depressive disorders and widespread of atypical depression (AD) (by DSM-IV) are the major problems of contemporary psychiatry. The level of social adaptation disturbance may be one of indices of severity depressive impairments.

Objectives

To compare social adaptation level among psychiatric inpatients with an atypical and non-atypical depression.

Methods

140 inpatients at the age of 18-65 years were evaluated with SIGH-SAD (Williams J. et al., 1991) and Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS) (Bosc M. et al., 1997). Patients who got more than 7 points by SIGH-SAD atypical features were considered as AD-patients, they formed the main group. Patients who got 7 or less scores by SIGH-SAD atypical features formed the comparison group. Mann-Whitney test was used.

Results

10 men and 60 women (1:6) at the average age 44.5±11.4 generated the main group. The comparison group was generated by 20 man and 50 women (2:5) at the average age of 48±10.7. Significant difference at the age was not observed. The average age for women of main and comparison groups are 44.6±11.2 and 49.6±10.6 years (p=0.01891). The middle score on SIGH-SAD at admission was 31.4±6.2 in main group and 24.9±6.2 in the comparison group (p=0.0000). The middle score on the SASS in the main and comparison group was 30.4±8 and 33±7.2 properly (p=0.04687). Significant differences in social adaptation level subject to gender among and in the groups were not found.

Conclusions

Women with AD were younger than non-AD women. More severe impairments on SASS were found in a group with AD.
