TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated mechanisms of underlying relationships between PTSD and three kinds of depressive phenotypes, namely, MDD, depressed affect (DAF), and depression (DEP), including both MDD and the broad definition of depression.

TL;DR: This study aimed to compare demographic and clinical features between patients with MDD and those with BD, but being misdiagnosed as MDD, in China.

TL;DR: More severe SLEs are more strongly associated with major depressive disorder in China, and the involvement of psychosocial adversity in the etiology of MDD in China is supported.

TL;DR: At least one fifth of Chinese patients treated for MDD may have an undiagnosed bipolar disorder, and the HCL-32 is useful to identify broader subthreshold bipolar features.

TL;DR: Bipolar disorder patients have a higher suicide risk than major depressive disorder patients, and the factors that were significantly associated with suicide risk may aid in identifying major affective disorder patients who are at risk for future suicidal behavior.
