Ninety recent victims of sexual assault were assessed within 4 weeks of the assault for evidence of depressive symptomatology and major depressive disorder. The results suggested 43% of the subjects met Research Diagnostic Criteria for major depressive disorder, with sleep disturbance and dysphoria being the most frequently endorsed symptoms. Older subjects and subjects who had been sexually victimized prior to the current assault were at significantly higher risk for developing major depressive disorder post-assault. Follow-up assessments revealed a diminution of depressive symptoms by 3 months after initial assessment and a continuing stabilization of mood at 6 and 12 months.
对90名近期遭受性侵犯的受害者在性侵发生后的4周内进行评估，以寻找抑郁症状和重度抑郁症的证据。结果显示，43%的受试者符合重度抑郁症的研究诊断标准，睡眠障碍和烦躁不安是最常出现的症状。年龄较大的受试者以及在此次性侵之前曾遭受过性侵害的受试者，在性侵后患上重度抑郁症的风险显著更高。随访评估显示，在初次评估后的3个月，抑郁症状有所减轻，在6个月和12个月时情绪持续稳定。
