Abstract
One hundred thirty depressed inpatients were rated on DSM-III axis IV on the basis of information collected from a comprehensive life events interview. Axis IV scores were more highly correlated with undesirable than desirable events, with exits than entrances, and with time-limited than chronic events. Higher axis IV scores were associated with a lower rate of abnormal dexamethasone suppression test results, a higher morbid risk for alcoholism, a greater frequency of personality disorders, and a greater likelihood of attempted suicide during the index episode.
