title: [Psychogenic depressions in forensic psychiatric practice].
abstract: Analyzes the problems of diagnosis, classification, and assessment of psychogenic depression in forensic psychiatric practice. Clinical manifestations of such depressions are variable and numerous; the range of psychogenic depressions includes the borderline and psychotic forms each of which may be a separate entity or represent a stage in the development of a reactive depression. Distinguishing of these variants may be reasonable to assess the severity of a depressive disorder when deciding expert problems and for assessing the capacity of the subject exposed to expert evaluation to take advantage of his or her legal rights.
