Abstract
In 25 Jewish and 26 non-Jewish depressives resident in Hackney, the PSE revealed that ‘hypochondriasis' and ‘tension’ were more common in the Jewish group, and special features of depression, containing symptoms connected with guilt, was less common. These differences could not be explained by variation in severity of illness as both groups had similar scores on the HRSD. The ‘social maladjustment’ scores were similar, very probably reflecting an elderly, deprived, inner-city population.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
