Agitated and non-agitated cyclothym depressive patients were compared relative to their results in a short achievement test for measuring degree of depression; the agitated patients worked significantly less slowly in two of the five subtests. These differences may exist premorbidly and can be explained by a theoretical concept of arousal. We propose to control the subject's activational states which -- besides the control of age and intelligence -- might possibly precise the test results relative to the depth of depression.
对伴有激越和不伴有激越的环性心境障碍抑郁患者在一项用于测量抑郁程度的简短成就测试中的结果进行了比较；在五个子测试中的两个中，伴有激越的患者工作速度明显不那么慢。这些差异可能在病前就存在，并且可以用唤醒的理论概念来解释。我们建议控制受试者的激活状态，这除了控制年龄和智力外，可能会使测试结果相对于抑郁深度更加精确。
