Abstract
Among 452 psychiatric outpatients, DSM-III [Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-III] diagnoses of major depression were 3 times as common among those with hypertensive disease as those without hypertension. Age, sex, chronic medical illness and current antihypertensive medication did not account for these diagnostic differences.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
