| Research Abstract |
We studied those with depressive disorders in Shanghai, Seoul and Nagasaki and compared diagnosis, symptoms, prevalence rate using the same psychiatric 'instrument' such as Hamilton Depression Scale, PSE, ICD-9, DSM-III and so on.
After confirming the symptom evaluation was standardized among three centers, we screened first contact patients with the same schedule and collected about 100 depressive cases in each centers in order to analyze the prevalence rate, distribution of 296-group and 300-group in ICD-9 and symptomatology.
The most common diagnosis in Nagasaki was 'major depression (296-group) and 'neurotic depression(300-group) in Korea.
With regard to symptomatology. the following findings were obtained: (1)In NAGASAKI, the scores of the 296-group were higher than the 300-group in 9 out of 17 items and these two groups were well discriminated by the Hamilton Depression Scale. (2)In SHANGHAI, the total score of Hamilton Depression Scale was similar to that found in NAGASAKI but the patients showed little retardation or lowering of activity although they have much insight. There were not excess of somatic symptoms in SHANGHAI, which has been reported in some previous reports. (3)The patients in SEOUL showed the highest score in three centers and as a global tendency, the scores of Depressive mood. Guilt and Anxiety were high and in the 300-group more somatic symptoms than two centers were impressive. (4)The common symptoms in the 296-group in three centers were insomnia and somatic symptoms. There was no specific pattern of insomnia in the 296-group or in the 300-group.
