ABSTRACT

Forty postmenopausal women were divided in 2 groups to receive a dayli dose of 2 mg oestradiol valerate and 2,5 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate or an identical placebo during 6 months. Initially and the end of the treatment period, they were subjected to a psychiatric interview and the Graffar, Hamilton and Eysenk personality tests were applied. Also an analysis of Verbal Behavior was used, that results in hope and hopeless scores. There were no differences in the initial assessment between the 2 treatment groups. In women receiving hormonal suplementation, the Hamilton score decreased from 11.2 to 4.9 (p<0.002) and in women receiving placebo from 8.1 to 5.3 (NS). No other significant changes in psychological tests were observed. In conclusion, hormonal supplementation decreases the Hamilton depression score in postmenopausal women

ABSTRACT

Se investigó la expresión verbal de ansiedad mediante análisis de contenido, en 46 mujeres intentadoras de suicidios de nivel socioeconómico bajo. La ansiedad de separación fue la más frecuente, y su mayor prevalencia se observó en pacientes con diagnósticos de depresión mayor y de trastorno de adaptación con ánimo depresivo. Casi la mitad de las pacientes con distimia evidenciaron niveles elevados de ansiedad de muerte. Otras formas, como ansiedad de culpa y difusa, fueron más evidentes en los trastornos de adaptación con rasgos emocionales mixtos y ansiosos. Los hallazgos corroboran la relevancia de los eventos de pérdida y de la ansiedad de separación en sujetos que han intentado suicidarse
