title: [Color vision defects in endogenous depression].
abstract: 8% of the men and approximately 0.5% of the women in a normal population suffer from congenital colour anomaly. We examined 75 women suffering from endogenous depressions. We found disturbed colour vision in 63% of them. We discuss the aetiopathogenic relationship between endogenous depression and disturbed colour vision.
