Abstract
A cohort of patients with chronic depression was followed prospectivel y. While depression severity scores differed significantly over time, there was less change in measures of personality and negative cognitio ns. The findings support the contention that some aspects of chronic d epression are most helpfully viewed in terms of personality rather tha n affective disorder.
