Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review found that psychotic depression (PD) has a lower lifetime prevalence (0.35% to 1%) compared to other mental disorders, with higher rates in older adults, and its onset age varies with age groups.
  • Risk factors for PD are not well-studied, but family history of psychosis or bipolar disorder appears to increase the risk; gender distribution is similar between PD and nonpsychotic depression but shows some differences compared to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
  • Outcomes for PD are generally worse than nonpsychotic depression but better than schizophrenia, with more research needed as it remains less studied compared to other mental illnesses like NPD, SZ, and bipolar disorder.]

@shvogt @SameiHuda @JRBneuropsiq @RxISK prevalence of depressive psychosis is 0.35% to 1% so statistically impossible for akathisia from psych meds to be several 100 times more common than depressive psychosis as <50% of population on them Might be referring to incidence but still very unlikely https://t.co/jFQsIudglI
