The issue of the core syndrome of endogenous depression.
The psychopathological findings in 339 patients treated for depressive disorder were investigated. The classification was made according to ICD 9 and DSM III. The classification and diagnosis of depressive disorders are based on the symptoms, etiology and the course of the disease. Therefore we aim at a three-dimensional scheme of classification that takes into account all these variables. We do not want to follow the basic problems of classification and all dimensions of depressive disorders. We just want to analyze our psychopathological findings in depressive patients, who have been classified according to ICD 9 and DSM III, and we want to turn our attention to the core syndrome of endogenous depression.
