Abstract

Specific alterations of drive have been cited in the literature to separate mild depressive disorders belonging to the bipolar or endogenomorphic spectrum from depressive disorders of other origin. To test this hypothesis 44 patients with mild depressive disorder were studied longitudinally. Presence of inhibition of drive or thought predicted outcome in mania or melancholia. The data are interpreted as evidence for the spectrum concept of affective psychosis.
