Life events exposure before a treated major depressive episode depends on the number of past episodes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020
Abstract
A cross-sectional survey investigated the relationship between the number of previous depressive episodes and life events, testing the kindling hypothesis, in a sample of 13,377 treated patients with unipolar depression. A linear decline of average life events exposure is observed for more frequent past episodes, even when age, gender and severity are taken into account.
