A prospective study (Fahy, 1974) found that depressed patients referred to psychiatrists by family doctors differed from depressives not so referred in being more often difficult to reassure, diffusely anxious and subjectively retarded. Single men were selectively referred. Absence of hypochondriacal features characterized prompt referrals only. Generally, psychiatric referrals were obviously depressed in mood and showed a wealth of psychiatric symptoms, predominantly of ‘endogenous' type and not associated with overt physical stress-at-onset. For lack of data with a direct bearing on reliability, the repeatability of this study was uncertain and the question of a possible qualitative difference between depression in hospital and in general practice was left unanswered.

In a prospective study of 28 subjects with major depression, weight was significantly related to nonsuppression in the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) on admission and seven days later. However, changes in weight between these two times did not alter the DST status.
