description The relationship between psychopathology and brain alterations, measured by computed tomography (CT), was investigated in 44 depressed patients. Comparisons of ventricle-brain ratio (VBR) between “endogenous” vs. “nonendoenous” subgroups, classified by six distinct diagnostic systems, revealed no significant differences. The VBR and the width of the third ventricle correlated significantly with scores on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, the Global Assessment Scale, the Bech-Rafaelsen Melancholia Scale, the Rating for Emotional Blunting, and the Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms, but not with scores on the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety. Item analyses of the Bech-Rafaelsen Melancholia Scale revealed that retardation-related items were most significantly correlated with ventricular size. The wider diameter of the third ventricle in psychotic patients was associated with higher scores on retardation in the psychotic subgroup, whereas the greater distances of both Sylvian fissures showed no relationship to psychomotor retardation. No significant correlations were found between CT values and anxiety, suicidal impulses, somatic complaints, and sleep disturbances.
