The authors suggest that many patients diagnosed as having manic-depressive illness, depressed type, may in fact be experiencing anniversary reactions--time-specific psychological and physiological reactions to a past trauma. They report three cases of cyclic depressive disorder, two of which were first diagnosed as manic-depressive illness, depressed type. Careful, complete interviewing and attention to temporal sequence led to the correct diagnosis of anniversary reaction.
作者们认为，许多被诊断为躁郁症抑郁型的患者，实际上可能正在经历周年反应——对过去创伤的特定时间的心理和生理反应。他们报告了三例周期性抑郁症病例，其中两例最初被诊断为躁郁症抑郁型。通过仔细、完整的访谈以及对时间顺序的关注，得出了周年反应的正确诊断。
