Analyses of questionnaire responses from 166 young women on the Cook-Medley Hostility scale of the MMPI, Beck Depression Inventory, and Wahler Physical Symptoms Inventory indicated significant differences between hostile and nonhostile women on depression scores, ranging from mild mood disturbance to borderline clinical depression. Hostile women also endorsed more items which indicated pervasive somatic complaints such as nausea, fatigue, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular distress. These results are discussed in the context of negative emotion and degenerative disease.

Moclobemide is a reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) which preferentially inhibits type-A MAO. In the present communication the results obtained with moclobemide in various clinical trials are reviewed. To this day, the antidepressant efficacy of moclobemide has been compared to that of placebo in four trials. The antidepressant efficacy of moclobemide (300-600 mg/d; N = 164) was found to be superior to that of placebo (N = 162) and comparable to that of imipramine (100-200 mg/d; N = 164) in a 6-w., double-blind, multicentre study, in patients suffering from a Major Depressive Episode (DSM-III). Two smaller trials, strongly suggest that moclobemide is more efficacious than placebo for the treatment of endogenous depression (ICD-9) and for the treatment of Dysthymic Disorders (DSM-III). The antidepressant efficacy of moclobemide was compared to that of imipramine, desipramine, clomipramine and amitriptyline. The antidepressant efficacy of moclobemide (300-600 mg/d; N = 189) was found to be comparable to that of imipramine (100-200 mg/d; N = 192) in a 4-w., double-blind, multicentre study, in patients suffering from a Major Depressive Episode. This finding is supported by the results obtained in 12 other smaller studies, using either imipramine, desipramine, clomipramine or amitriptyline as comparator drug. When the tolerability of moclobemide, as judged by reported and observed adverse events, is compared to that of placebo, it appears that only nausea is reported significantly more frequently with moclobemide than with placebo (9.5% vs 4.8%). In the trials comparing moclobemide to tricyclic antidepressant drugs (TCAs), the tolerability of moclobemide was constantly found to be superior to that of the TCAs; in particular the incidence of anticholinergic side effects was low with moclobemide and was significantly higher with the TCAs. The cardiovascular tolerability of moclobemide tended to be superior to that of the TCAs. Physical examination, hematology and clinical chemistry did not seem to be affected by treatment in any of the studies summarized in this review.

Outpatients with endogenous depression diagnosed according to the research diagnostic criteria of Feighner et al. were randomly referred to treatment with zimelidine (100 mg b.i.d., group Z) or maprotiline (75 mg b.i.d., group M). Patients who did not respond to treatment by days 28 were crossed over to the other drug. This preliminary report comprises results up to day 28 and includes antidepressive effect as rated by CPRS and globally, side effects, clinical chemistry and ECG. Ratings were double-blind at days 0, 7, 14 and 28, and a washout period of 4--7 days preceeded the trial. Group Z includes 27 and group M 28 patients with equal distribution of sex, age, duration of present episode, initial severity, etiology and previous course. There were 11 dropouts in group M and 5 in group Z due to side effects or treatment failure. On the other hand, 8 patients in group Z had to cross over to the other drug versus 2 in group M. According to the total CPRS score and the global score the antidepressive effect was somewhat better in group Z at 2 weeks but similar at 1 and 4 weeks. Group Z is less sedative but still seems to have a better anti-anxiety effect. Side effects were on a low level. There was a greater number of patients in group Z who complained of nausea, vomiting, loose stools, sleep disorder and sweating, and in group M dry mouth, drowsiness, dizziness and accomodation difficulties. Chemical analyses and ECG showed slight and inconsistent changes.

Among 33 out-patients with endogenous depression, 16 were treated with bromocriptine (10-60 mg/day, mean 34) and 17 with imipramine (75-250 mg/day, mean 143). The total score on the Hamilton Rating Scale decreased during 6-week treatment from 19.9 to 7.8 in the bromocriptine group (P less than 0.001) and from 20.1 to 6.1 in the imipramine group (P less than 0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups. The main side-effects were for bromocriptine: nausea, dizziness, and headache; for imipramine; dryness of mouth, dizziness, and sweating. This study suggests an antidepressant effect of bromocriptine although, due to the possibility of Type II error, it may not necessarily be equal to that of imipramine.

A double-blind trial was carried out in 9 patients with endogenous depression to compare the effectiveness of bromocriptine (15 mg per day, 4 patients) with that of imipramine (75 mg per day, 5 patients) over a period of 10 weeks. The results of assessments using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression showed that both drugs produced comparable reduction in mean scores and there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups. Fewer patients han anticholinergic type side-effects on bromocriptine although some had transient nausea.

In a double-blind clinical trial with 20 patients suffering from endogenous depression statistically significant changes (improvement) were present in the scores of all assessment instruments. Although no statistically significant differences occurred between the groups, significant improvement on the HAM-D occurred earlier for amitriptyline and significant improvement occurred earlier on HAM-A for viloxazine. 2 patients were discontinued due to adverse reactions; one for nausea and vomiting while receiving viloxazine and one for paroxysmal atrial tachycardia while receiving amitriptyline. The same number of TES occurred for each group with seven unique to viloxazine (numbness, tingling, palpitation, ejaculation difficulty, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, epigastric pain and gustatory disturbances) and seven unique to amitriptyline (insomnia, irritability, syncope, tremor, nasal congestion, orthostatic hypertension and paroxysmal atrial tachycardia). Other than for 1 patient who developed syncope and orthostatic hypotension and the patient who developed paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, there were no clinically significant changes in pulse rate, blood pressure and weight. There were no clinical laboratory findings with either drug that were judged to be pathological.

The multicenter trials were performed in a group of 86 depressive inpatients (among them 64 with endogenous depression) managed with fluoxetine (Prozac). It was established that the drug is most effective in managing psychogenic depressions and may also be of use in endogenous depressions, among them in drug resistant ones. Tolerance to the drug was satisfactory, 62% did not show any unwanted side-effects. The rest of the group displayed sleep disorders, increased anxiety, lost of appetite and nausea. Changes in the laboratory parameters and non-specific changes in the electrocardiogram were observed sporadically. Fluoxetine seemed not to have any direct cholinolytic effect.

Depression is a state of depressed mood characterized by feelings of sadness, despair, and discouragement. Depression ranges from normal feelings of "the blues" through dysthymia to major depression. Endogenous depression has been identified with a specific symptom complex: psychomotor retardation, early morning awakening, weight loss, excessive guilt, and lack of reactivity to the environment. Reactive depression is precipitated by a stressful life event. In the field of depression, we found an overlapping activity between psychiatry and neurootology. Our sample comprises 134 patients (53 [39.55%] male, 81 [60.45%] female) who were classified either by psychiatrists or by neurologists as suffering from depression. By evaluating our neurootological history data bank (Neurootological Data Evaluation-Claussen [NODEC]) as regards 6 important vertigo symptoms, we found that patients presented with a frequency of 2.10 signs per patient. When we extended the list to 11 vertigo and nausea signs, we found 2.93 signs per patients. All patients underwent an objective and quantitative neurootometric analysis. The following rates of abnormal findings were observed: butterfly calorigram of polygraphic electronystagmography, 69.40%; stepping craniocorpograms, 69.40%; and bone-conduction pure-tone audiometry of the right ear, 28.36%, and of the left ear, 36.57%.
