Do reversed depressive symptoms occur together as a syndrome?
Although the DSM-IIIR diagnostic criteria for major depression include hypersomnia, increase in appetite, and in children and in adolescents irritability, there is no general agreement on the existence of a depressive syndrome with reversed vegetative symptoms. Our findings suggest that these reversed depressive symptoms may not occur together as a syndrome. However, they may share an enhanced responsiveness to moclobemide treatment.
