  • Title: Stability of the postpsychotic depression syndrome.
    Author: Siris SG, Rifkin A, Reardon GT, Doddi SR, Strahan A, Hall KS.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1986 Feb; 47(2):86-8. PubMed ID: 3944070.
    Abstract:
    Fifteen consecutively identified patients with syndromally defined postpsychotic depression were followed prospectively over three consecutive weekly ratings to assess the stability of that syndrome. In 8 cases, the condition persisted with undiminished intensity. Five cases remitted spontaneously, and in 2 cases the syndrome appeared to be a harbinger of psychotic relapse. The implications for the timing of therapeutic interventions in patients with postpsychotic depressions are discussed.
