ABSTRACT

The mood, self-evaluative, and vegetative symptoms of depression in myasthenia gravis were assessed. The frequency of depression was significantly elevated only when assessed by measuring vegetative symptoms. These findings suggest that mood in neuroimmune disorders should be assessed with scales that separate the different dimensions of depression.

Key Words: Depression • Myasthenia Gravis • Assessment
