The typical depressed patient is described as well as the course of the depression. Recommendations for the physician, treating depressed patients, are given. There are two main groups of depressions ‐ endogenous depression and reactive depression ‐ which are explained. Depression is a syndrome with “seven principal dimensions”. The depressive syndrome is always a serious condition, reacting to suicidal behaviour, which is the greatest of psychiatric emergencies.
