Background and Aims:
Depressive disorders are characterized by high rates of recurrence and chronic developments, particularly in treated patient samples. The identification of relevant predictors related to course and outcome is of particular importance for tertiary prevention. In this study, we aim to assess factors influencing the prospective three-year course and outcome of illness in depressed patients. In parallel, predictors of the course of quality of life in these patients will be determined.
Methods:
A cohort of 85 patients suffering from major depression or dysthymia was comprehensively assessed one, six, and 36 months after discharge from inpatient treatment. Measures included demographic and clinical variables, quality of life as well as cognitive vulnerability and psychosocial measures.
Results:
Data collection of this study is still ongoing. The main results will be presented at the conference.
Conclusions:
Conclusions, clinical and research implications will be discussed.
