title: [Anxious depression and depressive neurosis].
abstract: Among the diseases which, though demonstrating a depressive state, have anxiety symptoms in the foreground but are not accompanied by severe psychomotor retardation, include anxious depression and depressive neurosis. This report presents a general outline of anxious depression and depressive neurosis, together with their diagnosis, clinical features and therapy. In view of the expected continuing increase in the frequency of these two diseases in the future, the need for multidisciplinary approach, not only for the proper and early diagnosis, including differential diagnosis, and treatment of these diseases, but also for their prevention is described.
