Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of elderly depression using MMPI-2-RF. A total of 143 elderly patients with depression and 142 elderly people from MMPI-2 normal population of Korea as controls were used in this study. Our results showed that the followings were significantly higher in the elderly depressed patients compared to normal elderly people: emotional/internalizing dysfunction, demoralization, somatic complaints, low positive emotions, dysfunctional negative emotions, malaise, gastrointestinal complaints, head pain complaints, cognitive complaints, suicidal/death ideation, helplessness/ hopelessness, self-doubt, stress/worry, anxiety, anger proneness, behavior restricting fears, multiple specific fears, shyness, disaffiliativeness, negative emotionality/neuroticism-revised, and the introversion/low positive emotionality revised scale. However hypomanic activation scale was significantly lower in elderly controls. Emotional/internalizing dysfunction, demoralization, hypomanic activation, malaise, negative emotionality/neuroticisim-revised, and introversion/low positive emotionality-revised were proved to be the most significant predictors for distinguishing elderly depressed patients from normal elderly controls. Limitations of this study and directions for future research are also discussed.
