研究人员采访了24名患有持续性抑郁症的患者的配偶，以了解他们是如何受到患者疾病的影响的。这些影响是明显的，尽管主要是无怨无怨地忍受着，包括社交和休闲活动的限制，家庭收入的下降，以及婚姻关系的相当紧张。患者表现出的一些行为令人难以忍受，而诸如痛苦、戒断和担忧等“负面”症状通常会引起问题。然而，很少有亲戚知道如何处理困难的行为。尽管如此，大多数人仍然承诺留在病人身边。配偶对医院工作人员对待他们的方式有各种各样的抱怨，特别是关于被剥夺了信息和建议。这些结果对于将亲属作为持续性抑郁症整体管理的一部分来处理的方式具有相当大的意义。
Spouses of 24 patients suffering from persistent depression were interviewed to find out how they were affected by the patient's illness. These effects were marked, although mainly endured without complaint, and included restrictions in social and leisure activities, a fall in family income, and a considerable strain on marital relationships. Some of the behaviour shown by patients was hard to bear, and ‘negative’ symptoms such as misery, withdrawal, and worrying commonly caused problems. Few relatives, however, know how to deal with difficult behaviour. Despite this, the majority remained committed to staying with the patient. Spouses had a variety of complaints about the way they were handled by hospital staff, particularly about being deprived of information and advice. These results have considerable implications for the way in which relatives should be dealt with as part of the overall management of persistent depression.
