Psychosocial characteristics of "double depression"
IW Miller, WH Norman and MG Dow
Thirty-nine patients with "double depression" (major depression and
dysthymia) were compared to 38 patients with recurrent major depression
without dysthymia on a number of severity of illness, psychosocial, and
biological variables. No significant differences were found on any
psychosocial or biological measure.
