Forty-eight patients with Menière's disease underwent psychological assessment with the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms. Using the presence or absence of recurrent vertigo or chronic dysequilibrium as the differentiating feature, the results of two groups were compared. A clinical diagnosis of depression (axis I) was evident in 80% of the patients with active vestibular symptoms examined by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and 70% by the Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms compared with 32% (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) and 39% (Diagnostic Inventory of Personality and Symptoms) in the inactive group. The data support the addition of depression to the clinical picture of active Menière's disease.
48例梅尼埃病患者接受了明尼苏达多相人格调查表及人格与症状诊断调查表的心理评估。以是否存在复发性眩晕或慢性平衡失调作为区分特征，对两组结果进行了比较。通过明尼苏达多相人格调查表检查，80%有活动性前庭症状的患者有临床抑郁症诊断（轴I），通过人格与症状诊断调查表检查这一比例为70%；相比之下，非活动性组通过明尼苏达多相人格调查表检查的比例为32%，通过人格与症状诊断调查表检查的比例为39%。这些数据支持在活动性梅尼埃病的临床情况中增加抑郁症这一诊断。
