[AMDP profile of endogenous and non-endogenous depressions].
The multifactorial, comprehensive description--as allowed by the AMDP scales--of two samples of depressed patients (95 endogenous vs. 86 nonendogenous according to ICD-9) illustrates a common pattern dominated by anxiety, depression, retardation and hostility but also significant differences: endogenous depressives reach higher Depression and Apathy-Retardation scores, whereas nonendogenous depressives have higher Dramatization and Hostility scores. The methodological aspects linked to the extraction of factorial profiles and the implications of the endogenous/nonendogenous differences are discussed.
