Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery & PsychiatryA RATING SCALE FOR DEPRESSION
32,633 Citations1960M. Hamilton
The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.
Archives of General PsychiatryResearch Diagnostic Criteria
6,963 Citations1978Robert L. Spitzer
The development and initial reliability studies of a set of specific diagnostic criteria for a selected group of functional psychiatric disorders, the Research Diagnostic Criteria (RDC), indicate high reliability for diagnostic judgments made using these criteria.

Initial scale development and reliability studies of the items and the scale scores are reported on.
Archives of General PsychiatryPsychiatric Disorders in the Relatives of Probands With Affective Disorders
497 Citations1984Myrna M. Weissman
There was a similarity in rates of affective disorders in the relatives of ambulatory and of hospitalized depressed probands (suggesting that ambulatory depressed patients may be as suitable as hospitalized ones for biological studies) and a comparability of rates of illness in relatives between centers for most disorders when comparable diagnostic criteria and procedures were used.

429 Citations1980Ming T. Tsuang, George Winokur +1 more
The data, based on blind diagnostic assessment of the relatives, support the distinction between schizophrenia and affective disorders, although the distinction Between schizophrenia and mania was not clear-cut.
Tissue AntigensHLA antigens in Japanese patients with narcolepsy
372 Citations1984Takeo Juji, Masahiro Satake +2 more
A surprisingly high association between an HLA-DR locus antigen and narcolepsy was revealed in the Japanese, and data suggested that a "disease" allele predisposing to narcoLEpsy was inherited with relatively rare haplotypes with DR2 in theJapanese.
Archives of General PsychiatryDepressive Disease
250 Citations1971George Winokur
An analysis of the genetic data is in favor of the possibility that at least two types of depressive illness exist, and one may be called "depression spectrum disease."
Archives of General PsychiatryPolysomnographic Findings in Recently Drug-Free and Clinically Remitted Depressed Patients
199 Citations1986A. John Rush
Whether PSG abnormalities identify clinically remitted patients who are prone to develop another depressive episode requires longitudinal follow-up studies.
PubMedSleep EEG and dexamethasone suppression test findings in outpatients with unipolar major depressive disorders.
193 Citations1982A. John Rush, Giles De +2 more
The dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and sleep EEG were compared in three different descriptive diagnostic schemes in 70 adult patients with nonpsychotic, unipolar major depressive disorder and the E/NE subclassification was best supported by both biological measures.
Journal of Psychiatric ResearchTransmitted factors in the morbid risk of affective disorders: A controlled study
146 Citations1975Elliot S. Gershon, Amalia Mark +4 more
Bipolar patients tended to have more bipolar relatives than un bipolar patients, but unipolar patients had an observable morbid risk for bipolar disorder in their relatives, and only the data on polarity seems suitable for testing liability-threshold models for genetic factors in the transmission of mood disorders.
Psychiatric Clinics of North AmericaThe Use of the Sleep Laboratory in the Diagnosis of Affective Disorders
120 Citations1983David J. Kupfer, Michael E. Thase
Beyond its role as a diagnostic aid, EEG sleep studies show great promise as a research strategy to help elucidate the pathophysiology of affective disorders and to understand mechanisms of antidepressant response.
Archives of General PsychiatryRapid Eye Movement Sleep Characteristics During and After Mood-Disturbing Events
119 Citations1983Rosalind Cartwright
Although depression and REM latency were both significantly improved at follow-up, the REM latency of those initially most depressed remained at a lower than normal level and the eye movement density sequency remained irregular, suggesting some lag in the sleep response or a traitlike vulnerability to future depression.
Archives of General PsychiatrySleep of Depressed Patients in Remission
104 Citations1974Peter Hauri
Findings indicate that, in many patients, sleep is still disturbed more than six months after substantial clinical recovery from depression, and less homogeneity among formerly depressed patients than is found among controls.

The nature of the measures used supports an interpretation of hereditary aspects of sleep length and certain structural components of sleep.

95 Citations1982Theodore L. Baker, Arthur S. Foutz +3 more
The observation that symptom characteristics are identical in all affected dogs suggests that a common neurochemical disorder may underlie both genetic and nongenetic variations of the disease.

Biological PsychiatryWhich endogenous depressive symptoms relate to REM latency reduction?
53 Citations1986Donna E. Giles, Howard P. Roffwarg +2 more
It was found that terminal insomnia, pervasive anhedonia, unreactive mood, and appetite loss were most likely to discriminate among "red reduced" and "nonreduced" REM latency depressions at various threshold values.
Biological PsychiatryPolysomnographic findings and dexamethasone nonsuppression in unipolar depression: A replication and extension
47 Citations1987Donna E. Giles, Michael A. Schlesser +4 more
The findings of the replication study were consistent with the earlier report; the incidence of both dexamethasone nonsuppression and reduced rapid eye movement (REM) latency was higher in those with endogenous depression.
