摘要：

The aim of the present study was to find if the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) can identify symptom differences between bipolar II and unipolar depression. Four hundred and five consecutive bipolar II and unipolar depressed out-patients were interviewed with the Comprehensive Assessment of Symptoms and History structured interview following DSM-IV criteria, the MADRS, and the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale. The Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale items were not significantly different between bipolar II and unipolar patients. Comparisons among atypical and non-atypical bipolar II and unipolar patients showed that only MADRS items of 'reduced sleep' and 'reduced appetite' were significantly different between atypical and non-atypical patients.
