A randomised cross-over study assessing the “blue pyjama syndrome” in major depressive episode
Abstract This paper introduces a “blue pyjama syndrome” (whereby wearing hospital pyjamas results in an exaggerated impression of severity). We performed a 5-day, prospective, randomized, cross-over study in a French mood disorder unit for inpatients. At Day 1 (D1) and Day 5 (D5), two 5-minute video...
