title: [Psychomotor retardation].
abstract: Psychomotor retardation, which is noted from the simple observation of the patient during the interview, may be considered as the best predictor of the efficacity of the antidepressor drugs. The major depressive episodes without psychomotor retardation are the most frequently encountered in clinical practice: psychotherapy alone is here relevant, without utilisation of antidepressor drugs.
