Evaluating Inpatient Treatment for Women With Clinical Depression

Brigham Young University

Candace E. Lowry

Wasatch Canyons Hospital, Salt Lake City, UT

Forty women meeting the criteria for either Major Depression or Major Depression plus Dysthymia received a 2-week, multifaceted, cognitive-behavior-based, inpatient intervention plus antidepressant medication. Patient scores on the Beck Depression Inventory, the Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire, and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression at admission, indicated significant improvements at the time of discharge from the hospital and at follow-up. The rate of change on the three scales was comparable for both patient groups, further supporting the potential of a short-term, combined intervention approach for patients meeting the criteria for Major Depression and Major Depression plus Dysthymia.
