Eighty morbidly obese patients who had had gastric bypass operations were interviewed for psychiatric diagnoses using DSM-III criteria. The lifetime prevalence of Axis I clinical psychiatric diagnoses was 47.5%, with depressive disorders occurring in 28.7% of the total sample. No other diagnosis exceeded a 2.5% prevalence. The authors believe there is no evidence of an increased prevalence of major psychiatric disorder in obese persons when strictly defined diagnostic criteria are used.
对80名接受过胃旁路手术的病态肥胖患者进行访谈，依据《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第三版（DSM-III）标准进行精神疾病诊断。轴I临床精神疾病诊断的终生患病率为47.5%，其中抑郁症在总样本中的发生率为28.7%。没有其他诊断的患病率超过2.5%。作者认为，当使用严格定义的诊断标准时，没有证据表明肥胖人群中主要精神疾病的患病率增加。
