Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 April 2020
Abstract
Prevalence and clinical correlates of dissociative symptoms in general, and depersonalization (DP) in particular, in patients with mood disorders have received limited attention in the literature1. Thus, the aim ofour study is to evaluate the association between depersonalization symptoms and mood dimensions in a sample of unipolar (UD) and bipolar (BD) patients.
185 patients (95 BD and 90 UD) in eutimic phase (evaluate with YMRS and HDRS) are assessed with: SCID-P for axis I diagnosis, HDRS, YMRS, MOOD-SR-lifetime version2 and SCI-DER.
through a regression analysis we underline in UD patients that the presence of depersonalization symptoms is significantly associated with the following mood dimensions: psychomotor retardation (p = 0.031; B = 2,197), mixed irritability (p = 0.035; B = 2,137) and social extroversion (p = 0.028; B = -2,229). We found no significat association in the group of BD patients.
In UD patiens, the presence of depersonalization symptoms must carefully consider. Further research are needed to identify specific clinical endophenotypes3.
