When the demographic
characteristics of the subjects currently in relapse were
compared to those who were not experiencing a relapse
no significant differences were noted with respect to
their: gender; age; marital status; educational level;
occupation; number of hospital admissions; or type of
antidepressant received. However, those who currently
were in relapsehad a lower mean age and experienced
their first depressive episode at a younger age than
those currently not in relapse.
