A study of life events reporting was carried out among 64 depressed and 74 non-depressed patients. The results show that age as well as depression can affect the number and type of reported life events. The younger age group (<45 years) reported more events than the older group, and the depressed patients reported more events than their non-depressed counterparts. The younger group also listed more desirable events than their elders. There was no evidence of an interaction between diagnosis and age.
