    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry and Psychology
    • Clinical Research on Mental Health Disorders

    Context:

    • Investigated comorbid relationships between personality disorders (PD) and depression.
    • Included 35 patients with affective and non-affective PD types (anxiety-hypochondriac character).

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the comorbid relations between different types of personality disorders and depression.
    • To postulate the formation of a clinical entity, melancholic depression, across PD types.
    • To propose a 'personality complex' or 'syndrome of depression risk'.

    Summary:

    • All patients, regardless of PD type, presented with melancholic depression.
    • A 'syndrome of depression risk' is suggested to predict and influence the clinical characteristics of phasic affective disorders.
    • This syndrome encompasses obligatory, facultative, and latent abnormal personality traits.

    Impact:

    • Extends the concept of 'syndrome of depression risk' to non-affective PDs, including anxiety-hypochondriac character.
    • Suggests a spectrum model for understanding affective abnormalities and personality disorders.
    • Provides a framework for considering personality traits in the development and presentation of depressive disorders.
