This study aimed to explore how prevalent agitated "unipolar" major depression is, whether it belongs to the bipolar spectrum, and whether it differs from nonagitated "unipolar" major depression with respect to course and outcome. ⋯ The diagnosis of agitated major depressive disorder is not uncommon and has significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. The subgroup of patients with at least 2 manic/hypomanic symptoms may suffer from a mixed state and/or belong to the bipolar spectrum.

This study aimed to evaluate clinical comorbidity in children and adolescents with Internet addiction by using structured interview. ⋯ By structured interview, we found that Internet-addicted subjects had various comorbid psychiatric disorders. The most closely related comorbidities differ with age. Though we can not conclude that Internet addiction is a cause or consequence of these disorders, clinicians must consider the possibility of age-specific comorbid psychiatric disorders in cases of Internet addiction.
