[Diagnosis of depressive neurosis].
We studied 97 patients who were diagnosed at the time of discharge having depressive neurosis within the period of 1984-1992. They were rediagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria of CCMD-2, dysthymia and mild degree of depression in ICD-10 and DSM-III-R. Only 23 patients were in accord with diagnostic criteria of CCMD-2 and maintained the diagnosis of depressive neurosis. The other 74 patients were diagnosed as having depression (single or recurrent episode) other types of neurosis, bipolar affective disorders (depressive phase or mixed phase) and schizophrenia. These diagnoses were similar to those in ICD-10 and DSM-III-R.
