The recovery from depression and factors associated with it are not well known in the general population.
To conduct a two-year follow-up of general population subjects and investigate their recovery from depression.
Individuals who were assessed as suffering from depression on the basis of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores were monitored for two years.
Sixty-five per cent were still depressed after two years of follow-up. Negative life events had occurred more often in those who had remained depressed than in the others. Logistic regression analysis revealed that a high initial BDI score and a worsening of a subject's economic situation during the follow-up period were associated with failure to recover. Lack of use of health services was associated with non-recovery.
Depression may be more chronic in the general population than previously has been thought.
在普通人群中，抑郁症的康复情况及其相关因素尚不为人所知。
对普通人群进行为期两年的随访，调查他们从抑郁症中康复的情况。
根据贝克抑郁量表（BDI）得分被评估为患有抑郁症的个体接受了两年的监测。
随访两年后，65%的人仍患有抑郁症。持续抑郁的人群比其他人经历负面生活事件的频率更高。逻辑回归分析显示，初始BDI得分高以及随访期间受试者经济状况恶化与未能康复有关。未使用医疗服务与未康复有关。
普通人群中的抑郁症可能比之前认为的更具慢性化。
