Functional somatic complaints in depression: An overview
2010, Asian Journal of PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Further the vegetative symptoms such as changes in appetite or weight, lack of pleasure and sexual appetence, and sleep abnormalities may be due to dysfunction of hypothalamic and sleep centers, which are also dependent on both serotonin and norepinephrine for optimal functioning (Stahl, 2002). Some studies have shown that persistence of FSC even after improvement of other depressive symptoms with antidepressants predicts chronicity of depression (Cadoret et al., 1980). Studies have shown that presence of FSC (Papakostas et al., 2003) and severity of painful symptoms have a negative impact on response to treatment (Bair et al., 2004; Karp et al., 2005a,b) and quality of life (Muñoz et al., 2005; Bair et al., 2004).
A systematic review of manic and depressive prodromes
2003, Journal of Affective DisordersInvestigating the effects of physical discomfort on laboratory-induced mood states
2000, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Likewise, validated measures of psychological distress and depression, such as the Amended Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-IA; Beck & Steer, 1987) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies in Depression Scale (CES-D; Radloff, 1977), include assessments of somatic functioning which, in turn, contribute to the overall depression rating. Because of the explicit inclusion of somatic functioning in the assessment and definition of depression, it is not surprising that clinically depressed populations exhibit a high incidence of co-occurring somatic complaints (e.g., Brown, Golding, & Smith, 1990; Cadoret, Widmer, & Troughton, 1980; Hamilton, 1989; Katon, Kleinman, & Rosen, 1982). Moreover, in non-clinical populations, ratings of depression typically correlate positively with reports of moderate physical discomfort and other somatic experiences (e.g., Bond, 1979; Von Korff & Simon, 1996).
