Many peri-myocardial infarction patients experience decreased wellbeing, which is either conceptualized as depression or as vital exhaustion. The objective of the present study is to investigate whether or not depression and vital exhaustion are separate entities. It was hypothesized that, if depression and vital exhaustion are separate phenomena, the correlation between two depression questionnaires would be higher than those between either of the two depression questionnaires and a vital exhaustion questionnaire.
