รายละเอียด / Details:

A retrospective study of 71 patients with major depression with psychotic features by DSM-IV criteria was conducted based on medical records between 1987 and 1996 at the out-patient psychiatric unit of Ramathibodi Hospital. Data analysis revealed that 77.5% of patients had hallucinations, 49.3% had delusions, and 29.6% presented with both symptoms. The most common types of hallucinations and delusions were auditory hallucinations and persecutory delusions respectively. Nearly all delusions were categorized as mood-incongruent whereas only 15% showed mood-congruent delusions. In contrast to the typical finding in Western societies, very few patients had delusions of guilt. Cultural differences in the concept of the self are discussed as the main contributing factor.
