Abstract:
Data from a community survey were used to test the proposition that pathological guilt and vegetative symptoms of depression were less likely to be associated with stressful life events and difficulties than non-specific symptoms like tension and worry. Two types of analysis were carried out: the first took only cases, defined as ID5+ on the Index of Definition program, the second was based on all subjects. Only the second analysis provided support for our predictions.
