作者回顾了支持家庭在抑郁症的发展和过程中起主要作用的证据。他们发现,在急性抑郁发作期间明显的家庭病理学在患者缓解后仍在继续;抑郁症的病程、复发率和自杀行为都受到家庭功能的影响;父母患有抑郁症的儿童患精神病理学的风险很高。作者探讨了尚未解决的问题,我们的理解的因素介导的重性抑郁症和家庭功能之间的相互作用,得出的结论是,有证据支持家庭和婚姻干预,特别是在治疗抑郁症的妇女。
The authors review the evidence supporting the idea that the family plays a major role in the development and course of major depression. They find that the family pathology evident during an acute depressive episode continues after the patient's remission; that the course of depressive illness, relapse rates, and suicidal behavior are all affected by family functioning; and that children of depressed parents are at high risk for psychopathology. The authors explore unresolved issues regarding our understanding of the factors mediating the interaction between major depression and family functioning, concluding that there is evidence to support family and marital interventions, particularly in the treatment of depressed women.
