endogenous depression

There was also our conviction that it must be possible to find a drug effective in endogenous depression.

ECT was, the guidelines concluded, an effective treatment for endogenous depression.

Unipolar endogenous depression is reported to have the best response to moclobemide therapy.

Endogenous depression was initially considered valuable as a means of diagnostic differentiation with reactive depression.

In some cases of endogenous depression there was one symptom which suggested that an abnormality of the internal clock might exist.

Endogenous depression.

Her mother, already being treated with hallucinogenics and imipramine tricyclates for endogenous depression, committed suicide a few weeks later.

Endogenous Depression is an atypical sub-class of the mood disorder, major depressive disorder (clinical depression).

Endogenous depression includes patients with treatment-resistant, non-psychotic, major depressive disorder, characterized by abnormal behavior of the endogenous opioid system but not the monoaminergic system.

Indeed, this view of endogenous depression is at the root of the popular view that mood disorders are a reflection of a 'chemical imbalance' in the brain.

Schneider coined the terms endogenous depression, derived from Emil Kraepelin's use of the adjective to mean biological in origin, and reactive depression, more usually seen in outpatients, in 1920.

He further classified three types of depression: normal depression or sadness (huzn), endogenous depression originating from within the body, and reactive clinical depression originating from outside the body.

German psychiatrist Kurt Schneider coined the terms endogenous depression and reactive depression in 1920, the latter referring to reactivity in mood and not reaction to outside events, and therefore frequently misinterpreted.

There are many forms of depression and a connection between abnormal body clocks and three types of depression have been suspected: rapidly cycling manic-depression, some forms of endogenous depression and seasonal affective disorder.

Psychotic depression, unipolar endogenous depression, bipolar depression, depression with and without melancholia, retarded depression as well as agitated depression all respond to moclobemide, as does neurotic depression, reactive depression.

One of the psychotherapists, not Sue Raudsley this time, but probably encouraged by her, had argued for the reintroduction of electroconvulsive therapy in place of the monoamine oxidase inhibitor drugs for endogenous depression.

Furthermore, I believe that endogenous depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease-as well as many other brain abnormalities, possibly including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis-are intertwined and reversible.

R. P. Brown in 1984 maintained that 'there is insufficient evidence to view involutional melancholy as a separate clinical entity', but at the same time that 'clinical characteristics of patients with unipolar endogenous depression may be influenced by age'.

Some psychiatrists didn't use ECT at all; others thought that the main, or even the only, indication for ECT was in psychotic or endogenous depression; yet others thought it appropriate in the treatment of a wide range of disorders.

Thus at the time defended the use of old tricyclics and MAOIs in atypical depression and endogenous, and now they prefer dual-action antidepressants in endogenous depression and antidepressant action of specific the neurotic or reactive depression (serotonin).

More recent research has shown that the probability of an endogenous depression patient experiencing an adverse life event prior to a depressive episode is roughly the same as for a reactive depression patient and the efficacy of antidepressant therapy bears no statistical correlation with the patient's diagnostic classification along this axis.
