[Severity of depression (clinico-statistical study)]
Abstract
A total of 218 patients from 19-40 years of age with different depressions were examined. Four types of depressive disorders were distinguished: neurotic, hypopsychotic, psychotic, depressive-paranoid. It was demonstrated that depressive conditions of various severity possess differential symptoms with significantly different probabilities. Each clinical group had a certain set of differential symptoms, the amount and syndromal-diagnostical value of which was in a direct correlation with the affect severity. Signs of depression got complicated only to a certain limit. In depressive-paranoid syndrome there was a splitting of the depressive symptomatology: enhancement of some symptoms and alleviation of others.
