对住院精神科服务的患者进行筛查，以确定患有严重抑郁症伴忧郁症的中年（35至50岁）和老年（60岁及以上）患者。确定了 37 名受试者（18 名中年人和 19 名老年人）。除少数例外，抑郁症的标准症状以及与忧郁症或内源性抑郁症具体相关的症状在不同年龄组之间没有差异。在该住院人群中，重度抑郁症伴忧郁症在中年人和老年人中的症状相似。因此，这种综合症在该住院服务中相对常见，应该很容易识别。
Patients admitted to an inpatient psychiatric service were screened to identify middle-aged (35 to 50 years of age) and elderly (60 years of age and over) patients suffering from a major depressive episode with melancholia. Thirty-seven subjects (18 middle-aged and 19 elderly) were identified. Criteria symptoms for depression and symptoms specifically associated with melancholic or endogenous depression did not differ across age groups, with few exceptions. Major depression with melancholia in this hospitalized population was symptomatically similar in the middle-aged and elderly. The syndrome is therefore relatively common on this inpatient service and should be easily recognized.
