Depresja psychotyczna
Rokowania, prognozy i postęp choroby
Depresja psychotyczna, jako ciężka postać dużego zaburzenia depresyjnego z objawami psychotycznymi, charakteryzuje się unikalnym profilem rokowania, wymagającym szczególnej uwagi klinicznej. Pacjenci z tym rozpoznaniem wykazują lepsze wyniki społeczne i mniejsze wykorzystanie usług medycznych niż osoby ze schizofrenią, jednak są dwukrotnie bardziej narażeni na próby samobójcze, z 31% podejmujących próbę w ciągu pierwszych 10 lat od pierwszego epizodu psychozy. Kluczowe czynniki wpływające na rokowanie to m.in. dłuższy czas trwania epizodów depresyjnych, obecność omamów somatycznych lub dotykowych, wyższe skumulowane obciążenie chorobami somatycznymi oraz stan cywilny (samotny lub rozwiedziony). Interesująco, większa liczba epizodów depresyjnych oraz choroby naczyniowe mogą predykować krótszy czas do remisji. Genetyczny wskaźnik ryzyka (GRS) lekoopornej depresji jest silnym predyktorem braku odpowiedzi i remisji, z PPV=100% dla pacjentów w górnych 10% GRS. Algorytmy uczenia maszynowego osiągają dokładność 65-67% w przewidywaniu remisji, podkreślając znaczenie czynników klinicznych i somatycznych w prognozie.

Rokowanie w depresji psychotycznej
Depresja psychotyczna (znaną również jako duże zaburzenie depresyjne z objawami psychotycznymi) stanowi ciężką i trudną w leczeniu postać zaburzenia depresyjnego. W przeciwieństwie do depresji bez objawów psychotycznych, rokowanie w przypadku depresji psychotycznej ma swój unikalny profil, który wymaga szczególnej uwagi klinicznej.12
Porównanie rokowania z innymi zaburzeniami psychotycznymi
Badania długoterminowe wskazują, że pacjenci z depresją psychotyczną wykazują lepsze wyniki społeczne i mniejsze wykorzystanie usług medycznych w porównaniu do pacjentów ze schizofrenią. Jednak osoby z depresją psychotyczną mogą być bardziej narażone na próby samobójcze lub samookaleczenia. Badania pokazują, że pacjenci z depresją psychotyczną są około dwa razy bardziej skłonni do podjęcia próby samobójczej niż pacjenci ze schizofrenią, przy czym około jedna trzecia (31%) pacjentów podejmuje próbę samobójczą w ciągu pierwszych dziesięciu lat po pierwszym epizodzie psychozy.3
Warto zaznaczyć, że wyniki pacjentów z depresją psychotyczną są podobne do wyników pacjentów z zaburzeniami afektywnymi dwubiegunowymi/manią. Istotne różnice między grupami diagnostycznymi można wykryć uwzględniając zmiany diagnozy w trakcie leczenia.4
Czynniki wpływające na rokowanie
Badania wskazują na kilka kluczowych czynników, które mogą wpływać na rokowanie w depresji psychotycznej:
- Dłuższy czas trwania epizodów depresyjnych5
- Obecność omamów somatycznych lub dotykowych6
- Wyższe skumulowane obciążenie współistniejącymi chorobami fizycznymi7
- Stan cywilny (samotny lub rozwiedziony)8
Interesujące jest również to, że większa liczba epizodów depresyjnych w ciągu życia oraz choroba naczyń obwodowych lub choroba sercowo-naczyniowa mogą być predyktorami krótszego czasu do remisji.9
Genetyczne czynniki ryzyka i przewidywanie odpowiedzi na leczenie
Nowsze badania wprowadzają genetyczny wskaźnik ryzyka (GRS – genetic risk score) oparty na badaniach genomu w lekoopornej depresji. Wyniki sugerują, że GRS związany z lekooporną depresją może przewidywać brak odpowiedzi na leczenie i brak remisji w depresji psychotycznej. Pacjenci z wysokim wskaźnikiem GRS dla lekoopornej depresji byli mniej skłonni do wykazywania odpowiedzi i remisji. Ryzyko braku odpowiedzi i remisji jest najwyższe (PPV=100%) u pacjentów w górnych 10% wskaźnika GRS, a pacjenci z GRS w górnych 40% są bardziej narażeni na brak odpowiedzi i remisji w porównaniu do pacjentów z niższymi wartościami GRS.1011
Modele przewidywania remisji w depresji psychotycznej
Zastosowanie algorytmów uczenia maszynowego do przewidywania remisji w farmakologicznie leczonej depresji psychotycznej wykazało dokładność na poziomie 65-67%. Wyniki te wskazują, że długość trwania epizodów depresyjnych, omamy somatyczne lub dotykowe, wyższe skumulowane obciążenie współistniejącymi chorobami fizycznymi oraz stan cywilny (samotny lub rozwiedziony) są niezależnymi predyktorami dłuższego czasu do remisji depresji psychotycznej leczonej kombinacją farmakoterapii.12
Depresja psychotyczna jako odrębna jednostka kliniczna
Depresja psychotyczna może być rozpatrywana jako odrębny zespół kliniczny różniący się od depresji bez objawów psychotycznych. Charakteryzuje się klinicznie dłuższym czasem trwania każdego kolejnego epizodu, zwiększoną podatnością na konwersję do zaburzenia dwubiegunowego, większym rodzinnym występowaniem zaburzeń dwubiegunowych i dużych zaburzeń depresyjnych oraz wyższymi wskaźnikami nawrotów, samobójstw i śmiertelności w porównaniu do depresji bez objawów psychotycznych.1314
Przewidywanie objawów psychotycznych u pacjentów z depresją
Badania wykorzystujące modele uczenia maszynowego do przewidywania współwystępowania objawów psychotycznych u pacjentów z depresją wykazały wysoką dokładność (0,931; 95% przedział ufności: 0,897-0,956). Najważniejszą zmienną w modelu predykcyjnym była ciężka depresja (stopień depresji), a następnie zmniejszony apetyt, subkliniczny stopień depresji, myśli lub akty samookaleczenia lub samobójcze, leczenie ambulatoryjne, wiek, spowolnienie lub pobudzenie psychomotoryczne.151617
Odpowiedź na elektrowstrząsy
Ważnym aspektem rokowania jest odpowiedź na elektrowstrząsy (ECT). Metaanaliza wskazuje, że obecność objawów psychotycznych jest predyktorem remisji (iloraz szans (OR) = 1,47, P = 0,001) i odpowiedzi (OR = 1,69, P < 0,001) na ECT, podobnie jak starszy wiek (standaryzowana różnica średnich (SMD) = 0,26 dla remisji i 0,35 dla odpowiedzi (P < 0,001)). Słabsze powiązanie wykryto między nasileniem depresji a odpowiedzią na leczenie (SMD 0,19, P = 0,001).18
Badania kohortowe porównujące wyniki leczenia między osobami z dużą depresją z objawami psychotycznymi (MD-P) i bez objawów psychotycznych (MD-NP) poddawanymi ECT wykazały, że osoby z MD-P mają wyższy wskaźnik odpowiedzi i podobne wskaźniki niepożądanych skutków poznawczych w porównaniu do pacjentów z MD-NP. Jednak po uwzględnieniu różnic w charakterystyce pacjentów, nie zidentyfikowano już związku między objawami psychotycznymi a odpowiedzią na leczenie. Zamiast tego cechy takie jak wiek, leczenie przeciwdepresyjne i potencjalnie objawy katatoniczne są silniej związane z odpowiedzią na leczenie.1920
Depresja psychotyczna u młodych dorosłych
Badania wśród młodych, nieleczonych wcześniej pacjentów z dużym zaburzeniem depresyjnym (MDD) podczas ich pierwszego epizodu wykazały, że częstość występowania objawów psychotycznych wynosi 9,1%. Częstość prób samobójczych była znacznie wyższa w podgrupie psychotycznej niż w podgrupie niepsychotycznej. Wyniki skali HAMD, poziomy TSH, TC i ciężki lęk były niezależnie związane z objawami psychotycznymi u młodych pacjentów z MDD.21
Wpływ jakości życia na rokowanie
Badania nad wynikami mapującymi Jakość Życia (QoL) jako wynik zgłaszany przez pacjenta w dłuższym okresie w ciężkich zaburzeniach psychotycznych wskazują, że ogólne obciążenie objawami w momencie włączenia nie jest decydujące dla postrzeganej QoL w długoterminowym przebiegu, podczas gdy zmniejszenie nasilenia objawów depresyjnych i pozytywnych jest ważne. Oznacza to, że należy jeszcze bardziej skoncentrować się na leczeniu objawów depresyjnych i uwzględnić aspekty traumaterapeutyczne w długoterminowym leczeniu ciężkich zaburzeń psychotycznych, jeśli jest to konieczne.2223
Jedyną zmienną socjodemograficzną, która ma znaczący wpływ na przebieg QoL w 5-letnim okresie leczenia, jest doświadczenie traumatycznego wydarzenia przed 18 rokiem życia (zarówno w całkowitym wyniku QoL, jak i we wszystkich domenach).24
Długoterminowe monitorowanie
Ze względu na złożony charakter depresji psychotycznej i potencjalne ryzyko nawrotów, długoterminowe monitorowanie jest uzasadnione dla każdego z depresją psychotyczną. Niestety, obecnie nie są dostępne biomarkery, które mogłyby pomóc w podejmowaniu decyzji dotyczących długoterminowej farmakoterapii. Innym powodem długoterminowego monitorowania są wysokie wskaźniki samobójstw w okresie obserwacji, o których donoszą inne badania.25
Podsumowanie czynników prognostycznych
| Czynnik | Wpływ na rokowanie | Siła związku |
|---|---|---|
| Obecność objawów psychotycznych | Lepsza odpowiedź na ECT | OR = 1,69 dla odpowiedzi, OR = 1,47 dla remisji |
| Starszy wiek | Lepsza odpowiedź na ECT | SMD = 0,35 dla odpowiedzi, SMD = 0,26 dla remisji |
| Dłuższy czas trwania epizodów depresyjnych | Dłuższy czas do remisji | Istotny niezależny predyktor |
| Omamy somatyczne lub dotykowe | Dłuższy czas do remisji | Istotny niezależny predyktor |
| Wyższe skumulowane obciążenie chorobami fizycznymi | Dłuższy czas do remisji | Istotny niezależny predyktor |
| Stan cywilny (samotny lub rozwiedziony) | Dłuższy czas do remisji | Istotny niezależny predyktor |
| Większa liczba epizodów depresyjnych w ciągu życia | Krótszy czas do remisji | Istotny predyktor |
| Choroba naczyń obwodowych lub sercowo-naczyniowa | Krótszy czas do remisji | Istotny predyktor |
| Wysoki genetyczny wskaźnik ryzyka (GRS) lekoopornej depresji | Większe ryzyko braku odpowiedzi i remisji | PPV=100% dla górnych 10% GRS |
| Traumatyczne wydarzenia przed 18 r.ż. | Wpływ na jakość życia w 5-letnim okresie leczenia | Istotny wpływ na wszystkie domeny QoL |
Znaczenie kliniczne dla lekarzy
Zrozumienie unikalnego profilu rokowania w depresji psychotycznej jest kluczowe dla klinicystów w procesie oceny ryzyka i planowania leczenia. Depresja psychotyczna wymaga specjalnego podejścia terapeutycznego, uwzględniającego zwiększone ryzyko prób samobójczych, pomimo generalnie lepszych wyników społecznych i mniejszego wykorzystania usług medycznych w porównaniu ze schizofrenią.26
Warto również zauważyć, że pomimo powszechnego użycia terminu depresja psychotyczna, diagnoza ta nie jest uznawana w aktualnych systemach klasyfikacji, w tym w Międzynarodowej Klasyfikacji Chorób, wydanie dziesiąte (ICD-10) i Diagnostycznym i Statystycznym Podręczniku Zaburzeń Psychicznych, wydanie piąte (DSM-5).27
Badania wskazują również, że lepsze wyniki leczenia mogą być związane nie tyle z samą obecnością objawów psychotycznych, co z powiązanymi czynnikami pacjenta i leczenia, takimi jak wiek, jednoczesne leczenie lekami i obecność objawów katatonicznych.2829

Psychotic depression is a severe and difficult-to-treat subtype of major depressive disorder for which higher rates of treatment-resistant depression were found. […] We created a genetic risk score (GRS) based on a large treatment-resistant depression genome-wide association study. […] Our results suggest that a treatment-resistant depression GRS is predictive of treatment nonresponse and nonremission in psychotic depression. […] We found that patients with a high treatment-resistant depression GRS were less likely to show response and remission. […] We show that the risk of nonresponse and nonremission is the highest (PPV=100%) in patients within the top 10% of the treatment-resistant depression GRS and that patients with a GRS in the top 40% are more likely to show nonresponse and nonremission compared to patients with lower GRSs.

We aimed to investigate long-term outcomes in psychotic major depression patients compared to schizophrenia and bipolar/manic psychosis patients, in an incidence sample, while accounting for diagnostic change. […] PMD patients have better social and service use outcomes compared to people with schizophrenia, but may be more likely to attempt suicide or self-harm. This unique profile is important for clinicians to consider in any risk assessment. […] Findings in this paper highlight that people with PMD have better social and service use outcomes compared with people with schizophrenia, but appear more likely to attempt suicide or self-harm. Outcomes for people with PMD are similar to those for people with bipolar/mania. Further, important differences between diagnostic groups were detected when accounting for diagnostic change. […] Based on lifetime diagnoses, PMD patients are around twice as likely as schizophrenia patients to attempt suicide, with around a third (31%) of patients attempting suicide at some point within the first ten years following first episode of psychosis.

- #13 A Machine-Learning-Algorithm-Based Prediction Model for Psychotic Symptoms in Patients with Depressive Disorderhttps://www.mdpi.com/2075-4426/12/8/1218
Psychotic symptoms are rarely concurrent with the clinical manifestations of depression. […] The area under the curve was 0.823. The overall accuracy was 0.931 (95% confidence interval: 0.897â0.956). Severe depression (degree of depression) was the most important variable in the prediction model, followed by diminished appetite, subthreshold (degree of depression), ideas or acts of self-harm or suicide, outpatient status, age, psychomotor retardation or agitation, and others. […] In conclusion, the machine-learning-based model predicted concurrent psychotic symptoms in patients with major depression in connection with the âseverity psychosisâ hypothesis. […] Psychotic major depression is clinically characterized by a longer duration of each subsequent episode; increased vulnerability of conversion to bipolar disorder; greater familial prevalence of bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder; and greater rates of recurrence, suicide, and mortality compared to non-psychotic major depression.

Presence of psychotic features is a predictor of ECT remission (odds ratio (OR) = 1.47, P = 0.001) and response (OR = 1.69, P 0.001), as is older age (standardised mean difference (SMD) = 0.26 for remission and 0.35 for response (P 0.001)). […] A weaker association was detected between the severity of depression and response to treatment (SMD 0.19, P = 0.001). […] This meta-analysis provides evidence for the superior efficacy of ECT in patients with depression with psychotic features, in older patients and in those with a more severe depression, whereas data on melancholic symptoms were inconclusive. […] The effect size of psychotic symptoms as predictor of response and remission was considerably higher than the effect found in a recent meta-analysis on ECT response prediction by Haq et al (OR = 1.34, P = 0.12).
- #19 Clinical Effectiveness of Electroconvulsive Therapy for Psychotic vs Nonpsychotic Depression: A Cohort Studyhttps://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/clinical-effectiveness-electroconvulsive-therapy-psychotic-vs-nonpsychotic-depression/
Individuals experiencing major depression with psychotic features (MD-P) may respond better and have fewer cognitive effects with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) than those without psychotic features (MD-NP). […] Individuals with MD-P had a higher rate of response and similar rates of adverse cognitive effects compared to patients with MD-NP with ECT treatment. However, after accounting for differences in patient characteristics, we no longer identified an association between psychotic symptoms and treatment response. […] In the largest cohort study to date comparing treatment outcomes between individuals with MD-P and MD-NP receiving ECT, our work identified several clinically important outcomes. We found that among those with MD-P compared to MD-NP, ECT is associated with higher rates of dramatic treatment responses with similar rates of adverse cognitive effects. However, once baseline group differences are accounted for, the presence of psychotic symptoms is no longer predictive of treatment response, and, instead, characteristics like age, antidepressant treatment, and potentially catatonic symptoms are more strongly associated with treatment response.
- #20 Clinical Effectiveness of Electroconvulsive Therapy for Psychotic vs Nonpsychotic Depression: A Cohort Studyhttps://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/clinical-effectiveness-electroconvulsive-therapy-psychotic-vs-nonpsychotic-depression/
Our findings suggest that individuals with MD-P are more likely to display a significant treatment response, but that this effect may not necessarily be due to psychotic symptoms and may be related to associated patient and treatment factors such as age, concomitant medication treatment, and presence of catatonic symptoms.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common psychiatric disorder worldwide. Psychotic depression has been reported to be frequently under-diagnosed due to poor recognition of psychotic features. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to reveal the rate and risk factors of psychotic symptoms in young, drug-naïve patients with major depressive disorder at the time of their first episode. […] The rate of psychotic symptoms among young adult MDD patients was 9.1%. […] Our findings suggest that psychotic symptoms are common in young MDD patients. Several clinical variables and biochemical indicators are associated with the occurrence of psychotic symptoms in young MDD patients. […] The prevalence of psychotic symptoms among young MDD patients was 9.1%. […] The prevalence of suicide attempts was much higher in the psychotic subgroup than in the non-psychotic subgroup. […] HAMD, TSH, TC, and severe anxiety were independently associated with psychotic symptoms in young MDD patients.
- #22 Health-related quality of life in severe psychotic disorders during integrated care: 5-year course, prediction and treatment implications (ACCESS II) | Health and Quality of Life Outcomes | Full Texthttps://hqlo.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12955-022-02039-0
Studies on outcomes mapping Quality of Life (QoL) as patient-reported outcome over a longer period in severe psychotic disorders are scarce. […] Results indicate that the overall symptom burden at time of inclusion is not decisive for the perceived QoL in the long-term course while the reduction in the severity of depressive and positive symptoms is important. This means focusing even more on the treatment of depressive symptoms and include traumatherapeutic aspects in the long-term treatment of severe psychotic disorders if needed. […] Earlier results indicate the critical role of depression in determining QoL among early psychosis patients by demonstrating that greater baseline depressive symptom severity prospectively predicted poor QoL. […] The only sociodemographic variable that has a significant impact on the course of QoL over a 5-year treatment period was having or not having a traumatic event before age 18 (in QoL total score as well as in all domains).

Focusing on the early course of treatment, results show that a decrease in the severity of depressive symptomatology is crucial for a perceived increase in one’s QoL (total QoL score, physical health and subjective feelings). To affirm depression as a critical determinant of prospective subjective QoL is also in line with earlier results.

Studies on outcomes mapping Quality of Life (QoL) as patient-reported outcome over a longer period in severe psychotic disorders are scarce. […] Results indicate that the overall symptom burden at time of inclusion is not decisive for the perceived QoL in the long-term course while the reduction in the severity of depressive and positive symptoms is important. This means focusing even more on the treatment of depressive symptoms and include traumatherapeutic aspects in the long-term treatment of severe psychotic disorders if needed. […] Earlier results indicate the critical role of depression in determining QoL among early psychosis patients by demonstrating that greater baseline depressive symptom severity prospectively predicted poor QoL.

We did not find significant predictors of recurrence outside the postpartum period. […] Understanding who is at risk of a mood or psychotic disorder during follow-up, and whose vulnerability is limited to the postpartum period, is particularly important in guiding treatment decisions including long-term pharmacotherapy. […] Unfortunately, no biomarkers are currently available to help guide these decisions. […] In clinical practice, this means that long-term monitoring is warranted for everyone with postpartum psychosis. […] Another reason for long-term monitoring are the high suicide rates during follow-up, reported by other studies.
- #26 Ten-year outcomes in first episode psychotic major depression patients compared with schizophrenia and bipolar patientshttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5147459/
We aimed to investigate long-term outcomes in psychotic major depression patients compared to schizophrenia and bipolar/manic psychosis patients, in an incidence sample, while accounting for diagnostic change. […] PMD patients have better social and service use outcomes compared to people with schizophrenia, but may be more likely to attempt suicide or self-harm. This unique profile is important for clinicians to consider in any risk assessment. […] Findings in this paper highlight that people with PMD have better social and service use outcomes compared with people with schizophrenia, but appear more likely to attempt suicide or self-harm. Outcomes for people with PMD are similar to those for people with bipolar/mania. Further, important differences between diagnostic groups were detected when accounting for diagnostic change. […] Based on lifetime diagnoses, PMD patients are around twice as likely as schizophrenia patients to attempt suicide, with around a third (31%) of patients attempting suicide at some point within the first ten years following first episode of psychosis.

For the majority of women with first-onset postpartum psychosis, the risk of illness was limited to the period after childbirth. […] For the remaining women, postpartum psychosis was part of a mood/psychotic disorder with severe non-postpartum recurrence, mainly in the bipolar spectrum. […] No clinical predictors for risk of severe episodes outside the postpartum period emerged. […] Our findings add to previous evidence suggesting a fundamental link between postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, which may represent two distinct diagnoses within the same spectrum. […] Despite the widespread use of the term postpartum psychosis, this diagnosis is not recognized in current classification systems, including the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5).
- #28 Clinical Effectiveness of Electroconvulsive Therapy for Psychotic vs Nonpsychotic Depression: A Cohort Studyhttps://www.psychiatrist.com/jcp/clinical-effectiveness-electroconvulsive-therapy-psychotic-vs-nonpsychotic-depression/
Individuals experiencing major depression with psychotic features (MD-P) may respond better and have fewer cognitive effects with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) than those without psychotic features (MD-NP). […] Individuals with MD-P had a higher rate of response and similar rates of adverse cognitive effects compared to patients with MD-NP with ECT treatment. However, after accounting for differences in patient characteristics, we no longer identified an association between psychotic symptoms and treatment response. […] In the largest cohort study to date comparing treatment outcomes between individuals with MD-P and MD-NP receiving ECT, our work identified several clinically important outcomes. We found that among those with MD-P compared to MD-NP, ECT is associated with higher rates of dramatic treatment responses with similar rates of adverse cognitive effects. However, once baseline group differences are accounted for, the presence of psychotic symptoms is no longer predictive of treatment response, and, instead, characteristics like age, antidepressant treatment, and potentially catatonic symptoms are more strongly associated with treatment response.

Our findings suggest that individuals with MD-P are more likely to display a significant treatment response, but that this effect may not necessarily be due to psychotic symptoms and may be related to associated patient and treatment factors such as age, concomitant medication treatment, and presence of catatonic symptoms.
