  • Title: Adjustment reactions: a long-term prospective and retrospective follow-up of former patients in a crisis intervention ward.
    Author: Bronisch T.
    Journal: Acta Psychiatr Scand; 1991 Jul; 84(1):86-93. PubMed ID: 1927570.
    Abstract:
    The results of a 5-year follow-up study of 76 patients in a crisis intervention ward who were suffering from an adjustment reaction (brief or prolonged depressive reaction) according to ICD-9 criteria indicate a rather favorable course and outcome using standardized instruments. Only 17% developed a chronic or severe course of primarily depressive symptoms and only 1 (2%) patient committed suicide after discharge, whereas 64% had a very favorable and 18% a favorable course and outcome. This result is reflected in a rather low use of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic outpatient services during the follow-up period.
