Depressed Group

A profile of later life depression was developed. One hundred later life psychiatric inpatients were administered the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory. These subjects were divided into depressed and nondepressed groups based on two criteria, an MMPI–-D T score ≥ 70 and a Beck score of 17. These two groups were compared on the MMPI Harris and Lingoes and Serkownek subscales and the Wiggins subscales. On 26 subscales depressed group were significantly higher than the nondepressed group. All but three of these 26 subscales were considered conceptually related to one of the five Harris and Lingoes-Depression subscales. This provided a profile of later life depression. There were also six subscales on which the nondepressed group was higher than the depressed group. These were distinctly nondepressive symptoms.

In 2009, Merydith and Phelps reported convergent validity of scales in the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory–Adolescent (MMPI–A) and the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI) that assess depression with a sample of adolescent psychiatric inpatients. This comment addresses analysis of these data, cites selected research on sex and the two inventories, and restates the recommendation that researchers routinely examine such data separately by sex before proceeding with combined-sex analyses.

Dystonia Musculorum

The origins of dystonia musculorum deformans are now considered to be organic. However, misdiagnosis of dystonia as a functional psychiatric disorder—usually conversion reaction—has persisted. The present study describes personality traits as measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory in 30 persons with dystonia and in a control group of 37 persons with cerebral palsy. The data, examined by diagnosis, level of disability, and sex, showed no differences for diagnostic groups or levels of disability. Males scored in the direction of greater psychopathology than did females. The male dystonics showed the highest elevations of MMPI scales of all the groups. Although only one person with dystonia musculorum deformans and none with cerebral palsy produced the profile usually associated with conversion reaction, 36% of all profiles showed two scales above a T score of 70. This finding suggested that young adults with a physically disabling disease may be at higher risk for developing maladaptive personality traits.

Abstract Researchers confirmed that depression and anxiety are two common comorbid disorders in chronic kidney patients. The aim of our study was to screen the level of depression and anxiety in a group of end-stage kidney diseases treated with hemodialysis. The evaluated sample comprised 230 participants; 110 females (mean age 55.5±13.5 years), and 120 males (mean age 54.5±14.3 years). The mean duration of maintenance dialysis was 8.3±5.8 years (from 0.5 to 24 years). Patients were selected randomly from three dialysis centers in R. Macedonia. As psychometric instruments Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and scores from Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI-201) were used. Our study confirmed that majority of evaluated dialyzed patients are depressed and anxious in different level, but unfortunately the mental problems are frequently unrecognized. We suggested some response measures for management of these conditions in order to avoid risks for complications as well of suicide.
