The Relationships Between Obsessional Personality, Obsessions in Depression, and Symptoms of Depression

Abstract: The relationships between obsessional personality, obsessions in depression, and symptoms of depression were investigated by means of a retrospective study of case notes and item sheets. One hundred and sixty-eight cases of depression, aged 20 to 29 years, were rated for obsessional personality as defined by Ingram (1961). The presence of previous obsessions, of obsessions in depression and of eight symptoms of depression was assessed from the item sheets. Obsessional personality was found to be significantly … Show more

“…Indeed, whereas the prevalence of OCD in individual psychotic conditions ranges between 10% and 25%, 2–4 one study that assessed the rates of OCD among psychotic patients as a group found that 24% of this group exhibited co‐morbid OCD, 5 a rate that is more than eight times higher than that reported for OCD in the general population 6 . Such co‐morbidity has clinical relevance as OCD may modify the clinical expression of schizophrenia, 7 bipolar disorder 8,9 and major depression 10,11 …”

“…6 Such co-morbidity has clinical relevance as OCD may modify the clinical expression of schizophrenia, 7 bipolar disorder 8,9 and major depression. 10,11 Despite initial claims that OCD may protect individuals with psychotic disorders from more severe symptoms, including suicidality, 10 recent research has shown that it tends to be associated with a more severe clinical presentation. 12 For example, in a meta-analytic study, Cunill et al 7 reported that the presence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) among patients with schizophrenia was significantly associated with greater severity of global, positive and negative psychotic symptoms.…”

“…Ook Kendell en diScipio (1970) komen tot een soortgelijke bevinding; 20 van de 92 (22%) door hen onderzochte depressieve patie¨nten bleken tevens last te hebben van dwangverschijnselen. Vaughan (1976) stelde eveneens vast dat patie¨nten met dwanggedachten deze gedachten gedurende een depressie vaak behouden. Bij 168 patie¨nten vond zij 24 patie¨nten met dwanggedachten (14%); van deze 24 patie¨nten hadden 13 patie¨nten dwanggedachten voordat ze depressief werden.…”

“…"A stumbling block is that many patients with obsessional states do not experience sleep disturbance or loss of appetite for food or sex, and attribute their depressed mood state, loss of self esteem and impaired work performance to the intrusion of compulsive thinking or activity". Vaughan (1971( ), cit. Beech (1974, in a retrospective study of 168 depressive patients, reported that when obsessional symptoms occurred in the depressive illness, there did appear to be a particular depressive pattern which was characterized by increased agitation, anxiety, over-activity, rapid mood changes, and less retardation.…”
