Abstract
Thirty-seven inpatients with pure major depression were compared with 41 inpatients with compounded depression (major depression with coexistent axis I, II, and/or III disorders) to assess the impact of the patients' illness on their families. Families of patients with compounded depression had worse family functioning (especially in their ability to solve problems and in maintaining acceptable standards of behavior), both during the acute depressive episode and at 6-month follow-up. A significantly smaller percentage of patients with compounded depression had recovered by 6 months (28%) than those with pure depression (51%).
