title: [Psychopathology of depressive mood].
abstract: The distinct quality of depressed mood is a clinical sign that has been recently excluded from both the DSM-III-R, and ICD-10 diseases classification manuals. An introduction to the depressive mood concept is carried out through a review of classical psychiatric texts, concluding that depressed mood elimination from the current, operative diagnostic criteria is most unfortunate indeed.
