抑郁障碍对决策行为的影响

THE EFFECT OF DEPRESSIVE DISORDERS ON DECISION MAKING

本研究结果表明:抑郁症患者决策自信力较低,感到较强的决策压力,较少采用良好的决策方式而趋于采用适应不良的决策反应方式;抑郁障碍越严重,决策功能的损害愈明显,而与抑郁障碍的分型关系不大;抑郁障碍缓解后,患者决策能力大大改善,可达到与正常人无显著差别的水平。

In this study,the decision behavior of 42depressed patients was compared with thatof 62 matched normal people and a follow-upstudy of 19 patients was made when theirdepressed mood disappeared three monthsafter the first interview.The main resultsshow:depressed patients had less se(?)f-confi-dence in decision making and great decisionstress,and were less likely to use their idealstyle of decision making and tend to use amaladaptive (?)esponse style;the more severethe depression was,the more obvious theimpairment of decision making would be,regardless of what type the depression was.The patients' decision-making ability couldbe greatly improved so much so that it hadno significant difference from that of thenon-depressed control group.
