[The psychopathological structure of depressions].
The theoretical model of depression has been developed on the basis of 275 psychopathological observations of the affective disorders. The primary symptom complexes of hypothymia and alienation are considered to be the obligatory components of the syndrome structure. Depressions are ranged into the system with variants according to comorbid correlations between hypothymia and alienation. The anesthetic depression (in which the signs of vital affective suppression and alienation are characterized by total symptomatological comorbidity) considered to form the center of such system. The variations of affective disorders (vital, existential, "self-torture" depressions, "depression without depression") in which the comorbidity phenomenon is just partly realized and in which one of the symptom complex is totally expressed have the marginal position.
