[Nostalgia as a state of mind and as a clinical form].
Psychiatry, as human science, necessarily concerns emotions too and, among these, nostalgia. Nostalgia is not only a mind condition but also a psychopathological and clinical state which can be defined nostalgic depression form. At the beginning of this work, on the base of a clinical case-report, we describe the phenomenological and space-temporal aspects of nostalgia, we analyse some psychopathological situations that, marked by nostalgic emotions, come from moving house, exile and rooting out. Each of these situations go with depression models thematically different, that are explained in the work.
