“…For example, a study of German communitybased adults found that 36% of those who initially had a diagnosis of SAD had already fully recovered 1.5 years later, whereas another 64% were at least partially recovered after this relatively brief period of followup. [20] A retrospective study by Chartier et al [21] that examined families of SAD probands, 38% of the participants were found to be in full remission at the time of re-interview. Although this persistence rate appears to be considerably higher than that reported in this study, the previous study was primarily focused on the retrospectively reported lifetime course of SAD using an older sample rather than an attempt to prospectively study a nationally representative sample.…”

Objective The present report describes the objectives, design, and methods of the Dresden Predictor Study (DPS) of anxiety and depression, a prospective epidemiological study investigating anxiety disorders and depression in 3,065 young German women (18-25 years of age). Materials and methods The DPS consists of a baseline and one follow-up investigation separated by approximately 17 months. At both time points, respondents were diagnosed according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition (DSM-IV) using an extended German version of the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule (ADIS-IV-L). In addition to diagnostic assessment, respondents completed a battery of self-report questionnaires that provided detailed information about potential predictors of disorders and a comprehensive dimensional assessment of psychopathology. Discussion and conclusionsResults on both response bias in the baseline investigation and effects of dropout at follow-up are presented, and strengths and limitations of the study design are discussed.

“…Table 2 lists the definitions of recovered in the most recently published studies [37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] . None allow for more than minimal symptoms, but they differ in assessing the syndrome [39,43] , the symptoms [38,42] or both [41] . The studies vary in requiring a stable phase.…”

“…The studies vary in requiring a stable phase. Two of the studies listed in table 2 did not require a stable phase [41,43] , and for the others only 1 required a year [44] , the others 8 weeks. In some studies this stable phase is defined as remission [37,39,40] , in others it is not [44] .…”

Background: The use of the term ‘recovered’ in outcome studies of schizophrenia has for a long time been problematic because of the many different definitions in use. In the present study different definitions of recovered in schizophrenia are reviewed and compared with similar definitions in other fields of medicine. Sampling and Methods: A literature searchwas done for criteria-based definitions of recovered as used in follow-up studies of patients with schizophrenia during the last 50 years and the current use of the term in other fields of medicine. Results: In medicine, only the field of psychiatry defines the term recovered to be synonymous with no or minimal signs of illness. Other fields only apply the term when studying the outcome of a specific function. In psychiatry, only the field of schizophrenia includes both symptoms and functioning in the definition. All but 1 of the 18 definitions found in use in the field of schizophrenia required minimal or no symptoms, while all differed in defining functional recovery. Recovered was seldom defined as following from a state of remission, and studies varied in requiring a stable phase. Conclusion: When using the term in the field of schizophrenia, a distinction should be made between symptomatic and functional recovery in order to place it in line with other fields of medicine. To avoid confusing the process of recovery from the state of being recovered, the term recovered should be reserved for use in outcome studies, following from a time in remission. We suggest 2 years.
