A comparative study of 26 delusional depressive patients versus 47 non-delusional depressed controls is presented. In addition to the clinical evaluation, the dexamethasone suppression test was performed. The results show higher severity and increased retardation in the delusional sample. The breakdown of delusions demonstrates that the most common delusions were of reference and guilt. Multiple delusions were found more frequently than one type of delusions. The D.S.T. results show no significant differences between the rates of abnormal responses in both groups. However in the delusional depressive sample with mood-incongruency there was a higher percentage of normal responses.
本文呈现了一项对26名妄想性抑郁症患者与47名非妄想性抑郁症对照者的比较研究。除了临床评估外，还进行了地塞米松抑制试验。结果显示，妄想组病情更严重且迟缓加剧。妄想分类表明，最常见的妄想是关系妄想和罪恶妄想。发现多种妄想比单一类型的妄想更常见。地塞米松抑制试验结果显示，两组异常反应率无显著差异。然而，在伴有心境不协调的妄想性抑郁样本中，正常反应的百分比更高。
