作者评估人格障碍症状作为老年抑郁症患者整体功能和生活质量变化的预测因子。在急性发作治疗后和1年随访时，对不再符合RDC重度抑郁症标准的接受治疗的老年患者（N = 40）进行人格障碍、抑郁症整体功能和生活质量评估。在与持续性或复发性抑郁症的相互作用中，B类人格障碍症状在1年内导致整体功能和生活质量下降。老年患者的人格障碍症状似乎作为放大或加剧残余抑郁症对长期功能和生活质量影响的辅助因素。
The authors evaluated personality disorder symptoms as predictors of change in global functioning and quality of life among elderly depressed patients. Treated elderly patients (N = 40) who no longer met RDC criteria for major depression were assessed for personality disorders, depression global functioning, and quality of life after treatment of the acute episode and at 1-year follow-up. In interaction with persisting or recurrent depression, Cluster B personality disorder symptoms contributed to declines in global functioning and quality of life over a 1-year period Personality disorder symptoms in elderly patients appear to operate as co-factors that amplify, or exacerbate the impact of residual depression on long-term functioning and quality of life.
