title: [Melancholia as a secondary disease. On the coincidence of endogenous depression with another psychiatric disease].
abstract: Melancholias (endogenous depression) not only occur in previously psychically healthy individuals, but also in patients with neurotic and personality disorders, in addicted patients, schizophrenics, in brain-damaged patients and psychically ill geriatric patients, epileptics and mentally handicapped. This concurrence has received little attention in the past; dual diagnoses are still uncommon in psychiatry. The nosological, diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
