In reply to Endoreactive depression????? » Anna Laura, posted by IsoM on January 22, 2002, at 13:05:19
Ironically, it seems the term may be an acknowledgement of the difficulty with the traditional different labels of endogenous and reactive depression.
I had a look in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/) and found only 5 refs. This from an article in Russian article (if there is an abstract, Medline includes them in English)
'...the author identified a group of patients (n = 33) whose clinical picture of depressive disturbances
was determined by a combination of reactive and endogenic features and corresponded to the
description of the so-called endoreactive depressions.'The 5 refs include 3 in Italian and 2 in Russian, all more than 10 years old.
But it raises the issue of why the person diagnosing you is using such an obscure diagnosis? At least in the mainstream psychiatric literature that is included in Medline.
