pubmed:abstractText |
The persistence of untreated depression was evaluated in 49 severely depressed alcoholics. After 2 weeks of sobriety, 80% of patients with initial major depression by Research Diagnostic Criteria were no longer depressed. These patients improved without antidepressant medications, suggesting the need for a 2-week period of sobriety before psychopharmacotherapy for depression is instituted. Many severe depressions in actively drinking or recently sober alcoholics may represent alcohol-induced organic affective syndromes which, unlike major depressive illness, remit spontaneously with sobriety.
