Extract

In reviewing controlled trials using mono-amine oxidase inhibitors in the treatment of depression it is soon obvious that workers vary as to whether they consider “depression” as a symptomatic mood change in diverse conditions or as a disease entity. Where the latter occurs, a variety of classifications of depressive illnesses appear, and that most widely used is the broad separation between endogenous and reactive depressions. Other points to note are the authors' definition of improvement, and particularly whether this refers to one aspect of the mental state only and whether the patient left hospital before receiving any treatment other than the drug.
