[Severe depression : life events, patient history]
Abstract
The relationships between severe depression, life events and personality are complex. However, sexual abuse and maltreatment during childhood contribute towards vulnerability to depressive disorders. Maltreatment in childhood does not appear to be linked to any particular personality disorder. An << insecure >> type of bonding appears to be a vulnerability factor both for anxiety and depressive disorders in adulthood.
