The recurrence of depression following smoking cessation has been documented among smokers with a history of depression. This report examines the development of major depression following smoking cessation among three women without notable histories of depression. Shortly after smoking cessation, these women developed significant depressive symptoms requiring psychiatric intervention. These cases seem to support the hypothesis that some smokers may self-treat negative affect with nicotine and underscore the importance of monitoring depressive symptoms in patients undergoing smoking-cessation treatment.
有抑郁病史的吸烟者在戒烟后出现抑郁症复发的情况已有文献记载。本报告研究了三名无明显抑郁病史的女性在戒烟后发生重度抑郁症的情况。戒烟后不久，这些女性出现了严重的抑郁症状，需要进行精神科干预。这些病例似乎支持了这样一种假说，即一些吸烟者可能用尼古丁自我治疗负面情绪，并强调了在接受戒烟治疗的患者中监测抑郁症状的重要性。
