Subjective social support and depressive symptoms in major depression: separate phenomena or epiphenomena
Abstract
One hundred and twenty-five middle-aged and elderly adults suffering from a major depressive episode were evaluated during the index episode and at six and twelve month follow-up. Subjective (emotional) social support and depressive symptoms (CES-D) were evaluated during each interview. Contigency table and correlation analyses reveal that subjective support and depressive symptoms are interrelated but separate constructs.
