Title
Epidemiology of subtypes of depression.
Authors
Kessing, L V
Abstract
There is a general clinical impression that depression differs qualitatively from non-depressive conditions, and that it can be identified as a categorical entity. In contrast, epidemiological studies support the view that depression is dynamic in nature and develops on a continuous scale. The present article reviews selected epidemiological studies of depressive subtypes.
