title: [Somatic-autonomic disturbances in different types of depression].
abstract: To reveal correlations between the structure of somatic-autonomic disorders and types of depression - melancholic, anxious, apathic authors studied 102 patients, aged from 20 to 50 years, with depression of mild (23 patients) or moderate (79) severity; 12 patients with bipolar affective disorder, 24 - with depressive episode, 66 - with recurrent depressive disorder. Hamilton depression scale, methods for study of somatic-autonomic disturbances and predominance of sympathicotonia or parasympathicotonia were used. Somatic-autoniomic disorders were presented in all types of depression, mostly in anxious depressions, lastly - in apathic depresions, melancholic depressions were in intermediate position. For each depression, common and specific somatic-autonomic disorders were found which correlated with type of leading affect and structure of depressive syndrome.
