“…1977], A further argument against the interpretation of neurotic depression as a more severe ill ness than anxiety disorders is provided by the results of longitudinal studies of anxiety neu roses. All of the authors are in agreement that a large percentage of patients with anxiety neuroses are handicapped to a greater or lesser degree throughout their lives, either intermittently or constantly, by anxiety symptoms and associated psychophysical complaints [Rotach-Fuchs, 1968;Muller, 1981]. Moreover, earlier observations on ncurocirculatory asthenia, a disorder that can be included among the anxiety neuroses, have also demonstrated this strong persis tence of anxiety, and this was independent of whether the patients were treated or not and if so, how [Wheeler et al, 1950;Miles et al, 1951;Winokur and Holemon, 1963].…”

“…In anxiety neurosis, depressive mood is seen both prior to the first panic attacks [Clancy et al, 1978] and later on in the course of the disorder [ Woodruff et al, 1972], and sometimes the anxiety neurosis even ap pears to take on a predominantly depressive character [Rotach-Fuchs, 1968;Marks and Lader, 1973]. In addition, since depressive phases have been observed in long-term fol low-up studies of patients with anxiety neu rosis, some authors consider anxiety neurosis to be a kind of endogenous depression [Mur ray and Blackburn, 1974;Salamon, 1978].…”

Anxiety and depression were assessed with self-rating and observer-rating scales on admission and at discharge in 414 inpatients with endogenous or neurotic depression, anxiety neurosis or phobic disorders. The results were compared with findings in a reference group of 2,493 inpatients with a wide range of psychiatric disorders and a representative sample of the general population consisting of 1,952 persons. On admission the patients with anxiety neurosis and all of those with depressive disorders were significantly more anxious than the psychiatric reference group, whereas the phobic patients were only slightly more anxious. As was to be expected, the depressive groups showed the greatest depressivity, whereas the group with anxiety neurosis differed only slightly from the psychiatric reference group and the patients with phobias were actually below this reference group. During the treatment period there was a marked decrease in anxiety among the depressive patients but not in those with anxiety neurosis. The decrease in depressivity in the neurotic depressive patients was much less than in those with endogenous depression. Mixed anxiety depression was found with about the same frequency in both the neurotic and the endogenous depression groups. In general, anxiety and depressivity decreased over the treatment period, with persistence greatest in the anxiety neurosis group. On admission there was a more pronounced connection between anxiety and psychomotor agitation, on discharge between anxiety and psychomotor retardation.

“…In four older studies (8)(9)(10)(11), which do not fulfill strict methodological criteria in assessing course and outcome, the prognosis of depressed neurotics after inpatient treatment seems to be rather poor in comparison to the three follow-up studies in outpatients cited above. All four studies on neurotic depressives after inpatient treatment with a follow-up period of at least 5 years showed a marked percentage of "chronic" developments and a high percentage of relapses.…”

The results of a 7-year follow-up study of 50 former psychiatric inpatients with a diagnosis of depressive neurosis (ICD 300.4) who met the RDC criteria for Major Depression are reported. The follow-up assessment of the patients included the use of standardized social, psychological and psychopathological instruments. In addition, the course of illness as well as the utilization of medical services and periods of working disability were evaluated. The results indicate a rather unfavourable course and outcome in terms of symptoms for approximately 40% of the sample, including six patients who had committed suicide after index discharge. Almost 40% of the sample showed mild chronic symptoms with persistent impairments in social functioning especially in the area of social interaction, whereas only 20% of the sample were classified as satisfactorily improved or completely remitted.
