Perhaps owing to their commonness, nonserious motor vehicle accidents, i.e. those not resulting in death or major bodily injury, have received scant systematic study in the psychiatric literature. However, patients presenting with lingering psychiatric distress following such accidents are seen commonly in practice. The authors reviewed the patterns of presentation and background circumstances in a series of 55 such cases, presenting at varying periods of time after the incident. They found such patients to cluster into four distinct groups. The most common presentation was that of a depressive syndrome, outnumbering those with features of posttraumatic stress disorder by 3:1.
或许由于其常见性，非严重机动车事故，即那些未导致死亡或重大身体损伤的事故，在精神病学文献中很少受到系统研究。然而，在实际临床中，此类事故后出现持续性精神痛苦的患者却很常见。作者回顾了55例此类病例的表现模式及背景情况，这些病例在事故发生后的不同时间段前来就诊。他们发现此类患者可分为四个不同的组。最常见的表现是抑郁综合征，其数量比有创伤后应激障碍特征的患者多3倍。
