title: [Drug therapy and affective disorders: state of the art].
abstract: Different types of depression require adequate treatment. From the most recent MAO inhibitors we go on to tricyclic antidepressants, to the second generation (amoxapine, buspirone, venlafaxine), and to selective inhibitors of 5HT reuptake (fluoxetine and its derivates, again venlafaxine, sertaline). Indications for lithium remain unchanged.
