The problem of depressive disorders is one of the most important problems of modern psychiatry due to the high prevalence andsignifi cant medical and social consequences of depression, which determines the relevance of the study of individual psychological andpathocharacterological characteristics of patients with depressive disorders for prevention of depression.The aim of the study: to determine the individual psychological and pathocharacterological characteristics of patients withdepressive disorders, taking into account age and sex of patients.Objectives of the study: to determine the structure and quantify the severity of individual psychological and pathocharacterologicalcharacteristics, as well as to establish their relationship with the severity of aff ective symptoms in patients with depressive disorders indiff erent age groups and taking into account sex of patients.Methods: using Mini-Mult test clinically and psychologically examined 107 men and 138 women with depressive disorders.Results. It was found that patients with depressive disorders have stable characteristics of dysthymia (84.1±4.6 T-points in men,81.3±1.9 T-points in women, p<0.01), anxiety (respectively 78,8±9.5 T-points and 83.7±8.3 T-points, p<0.01) in combination withhypochondriac fi xations (71.4±8.5 T-points and 75.6±5.7 T-points, p<0.01), and moderate manifestations of rigidity, dissociative traitsand psychopathy. Sex diff erences are more pronounced in men with persistent dysthymic and rigid traits, and in women – hypochondriac,anxious traits and manifestations of aff ective lability. The most signifi cant pathocharacterological features are manifested in theinitial stages of the disease, which is manifested by the greatest diff erences in their manifestations between younger and middle agegroups, especially in relation to hypochondriac, dissociative, rigid, schizoid characteristics and manifestations of psychopathy. Persistenthypochondriac, dysthymic and aff ectively labile traits are positively correlated with the severity of depression and anxiety, however, thisrelationship is not absolute and refl ects the complex clinical, pathogenetic and pathopsychological patterns of personality change indepressive disorders.
