[Psychopathologic structure of protracted endogenous depressions].

The psychopathological structure of protracted endogenous depressions was studied. An attempt was made to eliminate the main components of the depressive syndrome (variants of the depressive affect - anguish, anxiety, apathy, ideator and motor inhibition and "supplementary" symptoms). The results of the study demonstrated some general psychopathological regularities in the interrelationship of components of the depressive triade and some nozological differences. The assumption is made of the heterogenity in the mechanisms of "delayed" depressions. The most significant appeared to be such factors as the character of the main affect, the degree of intensity and concord of the triade elements and the existence of "supplementary" psychopathological phenomens.
