title: [Depression...but which depression?].
abstract: Despite intensive efforts in neurobiology and epidemiology, depression remains a diagnosis with blurred b. We illustrate this point by examining the controversial issue of systematic screening by GPs, which highlights tensions between psychiatry and general medicine. We suggest a broader perspective on depression, taking into account the patient's individuality, as well as potentially pathogenic social determinants. In the era of operational diagnostic criteria, clinical intuition and the wider sociological context of the doctor-patient relationship are relevant.
