“…In their study, dysthymia in particular seemed to play an important role regarding the relation of mood disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Dysthymia seems to be at least in part close to the ‘minor’ depression discussed by Ketterer et al [6], being similar phenomenologically and different mainly in the course.…”

“…Ketterer et al [6] suggested that the application of Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) criteria to medical populations needs serious scrutiny. They evaluated 77 patients with documented CHD for demographic/risk factor characteristics, major depressive disorder (MDD) according to the Patient’s Health Questionnaire and emotional distress by the Symptom Checklist 90-revised (SCL-90-R) and examined the association between MDD as measured by the Patient’s Health Questionnaire and continuous measures of depression and emotional distress as measured by SCL-90-R with ‘age at initial diagnosis’ of CHD, a known marker of disease severity.…”

This article reviews several areas of new and interesting development in the fields of psychosomatics and psychotherapy published in the literature during 2006. These areas are: (1) cardiovascular illness and its interplay with depression; (2) risks and predisposing factors in the areas of mental illness and physical illness; (3) new developments in chronic fatigue syndrome, and (4) new or newly explored/modified (psycho)therapies, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy. In addition, an important area of conflict of interest in psychiatry in particular and in biomedical science in general is discussed, as this issue has reached prominence in the biomedical literature.

“…Subsyndromal depressive symptoms have, likewise, been correlated with poorer functioning (Goldney et al, 2004;Backenstrss et al, 2005). A recent study found that both psychoticism and depressive symptoms are associated with earlier age of onset for coronary artery disease, and this relation remains even after excluding individuals with major depression (Kettner et al, 2006).…”

The impact of psychoticism on perceived hassles, depression, hostility, and hopelessness in non-psychiatric African Americans

Psychotic symptoms are distributed along a continuum that extends from normality to diagnosable psychotic disorders and the presence of psychoticism among individuals in the general population may lead to morbidity and social impairment. This study examined a model in which psychoticism leads to several important psychological consequences. The analysis included 134 African Americans with no psychiatric history who were being seen in medical walk-in clinics for nonemergency medical problems. Psychoticism, perceived hassles, depression, hostility, and hopelessness were measured. The Linear Structural Relations Program (LISREL) was used to test the fit of the data to the proposed model, a trimmed hierarchical version, and two alternative models. The data supported a model in which psychoticism has substantial effects on several important characteristics: perceived daily hassles, depression, and hostility. Depression mediated the association between psychoticism and hopelessness. Goodness-of-fit indices for a final trimmed model that eliminated one path from the initial postulated model revealed good fit to the data, and the two alternative models were found not to fit the data. Like psychosis itself, psychoticism appears to cause meaningful dysfunction even among non-psychiatric individuals from the general population. Additional research is needed to further characterize the detrimental effects of psychoticism or self-reported psychotic symptoms in the general, non-psychiatric population.

This research review examines the recent articles that have investigated the relationship between mood, anxiety, and physical illness (e.g., asthma, autoimmune disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and sexual dysfunction). There is growing evidence of an overall negative impact of depression and other mood states, and anxiety on numerous physical illnesses and conditions, and their outcome.
