抑郁症患者的配偶在治疗抑郁症的抑郁情绪和具体的负担进行了检查。49对妻子抑郁的夫妇和30对丈夫抑郁的夫妇进行了DSM-IV（M。B。首先，R. L. Spitzer，M. Giant，& J. B. W.威廉姆斯，1995年），和配偶完成了抑郁情绪和负担的措施。总体而言，与抑郁症患者生活在一起的配偶报告的抑郁情绪明显高于一般人群的标准和许多具体的负担。回归分析表明，这些负担以及配偶的性别解释了配偶的抑郁情绪，否则将归因于情绪传染。有人建议，作为一种替代的独家治疗的重点放在病人的结果，注意力可能是有益的是针对配偶所经历的痛苦和负担。
The depressed mood and specific burdens experienced by spouses of patients in treatment for depression were examined. Forty-nine wife-depressed couples and 30 husband-depressed couples were administered the Structured Clinical interview for DSM-IV (M. B. First, R. L. Spitzer, M. Gibbon, & J. B. W. Williams, 1995), and spouses completed measures of depressed mood and burden. Overall, spouses living with a depressed patient reported significantly more depressed mood than general population norms and numerous specific burdens. Regression analyses showed that these burdens as well as gender of the spouse accounted for the spouses' depressed mood that would otherwise be attributed to mood contagion. It is suggested that as an alternative to an exclusive therapeutic focus on patient outcomes, attention might profitably be directed to the distress and burden experienced by spouses.
