Depression and gastrointestinal illness: the joint use of biological and clinical criteria.
Giovanni A. Fava,Giancarlo Trombini,Luigi Barbara,Manuela Bernardi,Silvana Grandi,Callegari C,Miglioli M +6 more
TL;DR: The dexamethasone suppression test--a laboratory marker of the endogenous depressive state--supported clinical diagnosis in several cases, yet its routine use to screen depression is not warranted because of its poor specificity.

Silvana Grandi,Giovanni A. Fava,A. Cunsolo,F. M. Saviotti,Ranieri Ml,Giancarlo Trombini,G. Gozzetti +6 more

Psychological Distress and Amniocentesis
Laura Michelacci,Giovanni A. Fava,Giancarlo Trombini,Maria Zielezny,Luciano Bovicelli,Camillo Orlandi +5 more
TL;DR: Women whose only indication for amniocentesis was an age of 35 years or older displayed significantly higher hostility and somatic symptoms and less contentment before the procedure than the other women; subsequently these differences lost their significance and the two groups showed similar patterns of psychological distress throughout the pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of depression and illness behaviour in general hospital patients.
TL;DR: Depressive symptoms and abnormal illness behaviour as measured by self-rating scales were studied among 325 inpatients of a general hospital and suggested that in contrast to the younger patients, older patients had a tendency to focus on somatic problems and not psychological determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sandra Conti,Gianni Savron,Giovanna Bartolucci,Silvana Grandi,Carlo Magelli,Franco Semprini,F. M. Saviotti,Giancarlo Trombini,Giovanni A. Fava,Bruno Magnani +9 more
