One hundred and nineteen Indian and one hundred and fourteen North American depressed patients were compared to assess the differences in psychopathology. The study revealed two important findings: 1) Indian patients scored significantly higher than American patients on the HAMD items of poor appetite, hypochondriasis, diurnal variation, and psychomotor retardation; and lower on the items of anxiety and middle insomnia. 2) Guilt was expressed less often by Indian patients. Guilt was more common among those who felt that God was responsible for their depression and in those who believed in reincarnation. These differences may be related to cultural factors and not to religious beliefs.
一百一十九名印度患者和一百一十四名北美抑郁患者被拿来作对比，以评估他们在精神病理学方面的差异。研究揭示了两个重要发现：1）在 HAMD 项目中，印度患者在食欲不佳、疑病症、昼间变化和精神运动阻滞方面的得分显著高于美国患者，而在焦虑和中度失眠方面的得分则较低。2）印度患者表达内疚的频率较低。那些认为上帝导致了他们抑郁和相信轮回的人，更常感到内疚。这些差异可能与文化因素有关，而不是宗教信仰。
