Die drei Patientengruppen unterscheiden sich nicht signifikant bezüglich Alter (ca. 60 Jahre) und Geschlechtsverteilung. Hingegen bestehen markante Unterschiede bezüglich Beobachtungsund Krankheitsdauer als Folge des unterschiedlichen Erstmanifestationsalters. Unipolare Depressionen verlaufen viel günstiger als bipolare und schizoaffektive, die letzteren beiden ähneln sieh in vielen Merkmalen. Unipolare Depressionen beginnen im Mittel mit 45 Jahren, bipolare mit 35 und schizoaffektive mit 32. Die Krankheitsdauer unipolarer Depressionen ist markant kürzer als diejenige der andern beiden Gruppen. Unipolare Depressionen heilen auch oft (in ca. 40% der Fälle) spontan ab, in dieser Gruppe finden sich aber auch am allenneisten Suizide 00% I1ir die ganze Gruppe, 13-14% bei Ersthospitalisierten). Bei einer durchschnittlichen Beobachtungsdauer seit der Ersterkrankung von 19-27 Jahren (je nach Krankheitsgruppe) wurden bei unipolaren Depressionen 4 Phasen auf 19 Jahre, bei bipolaren 9 auf 26 und bei schizoaffektiven 7 auf 27 beobachtet. Auch hier ist also der Verlauf der unipolaren Störungen relativ günstig, hingegen entsteht außer der Tatsache der Suizide auch noch durch das hohe Manifestationsalter dieser Krankheitsgruppe ein Bias zugunslen eines optimistischeren Bildes. Es wird Aufgabe einer künftigen Untersuchung sein, genauer herauszuschälen, ob früherkrankte unipolar Depressive häufiger abheilen als Späterkrankungen. Die Suizidrate ist bis jetzt in beiden Gruppen gleich. Die Phasendauer wurde in erster Linie durch Bildung intraindividueller Mittelwerte dargestellt und diese wiederum für ganze Krankheitsgruppen gemittelt. In diesem Sinne dauern unipolar depressive Phasen im Durchschnitt 5,95 Monate, bipolare 4,4 und schizoaffektive 4,65 Monate. Relativ oft wird eine Chronifizierung im Sinne einer Dauer von über 12 bzw. 24 Monaten beobachtet. Die letzte beobachtete Krankheitsphase dauerte länger als ein Jahr bei 24,5% der unipolaren, 17,9% der bipolaren und 18% der schizoaffektiven Kranken. Innerhalb dieser Untergruppen findet sich eine Dauer der lelzten Phase von über zwei Jahren bei 17% der unipolaren, 13,7% der bipolaren, 12% der Course of Unipolar Depressive, Bipolar Manic-Depressive, and Schizoaffective Disorders.

The conviction that an affective causation of compulsion has to be repudiated, that a primary compulsive idea is just followed by a secondary affect, contrasted with the belief that alterations of mood are a prerequisite of compulsive symptoms. The latter hypothesis led to the identification of a typical course of illness in the compulsive depressions. After a short review of Lauter's casuistry, some of our own cases are presented. A differentiation between two types of compulsive depression seems to fulfill the requirements of the clinic. The distinguishing criterion is the pattern of the premorbid personality. To the widespread therapeutic pessimism we oppose various psychotherapeutic techniques for the treatment of non-psychotic compulsive phenomenal; for the manifestations occurring in the course of psychotic illnesses, the appropriate psychotropic drugs will be used in the first place, although they are of limited importance in these types of illness which oppose serious difficulties to all methods of treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":75864,"journal":{"name":"Fortschritte der Neurologie, Psychiatrie, und ihrer Grenzgebiete","volume":"47 12","pages":"628-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11474918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
