Abstract

The paper is concerned with persons with depressive symptomatology revealed immediately after an attempt of committing suicide. Three groups of patients were distinguished: with endogenous depression, with reactive (psychotic) and psychogenous depressions. The main causes were established of the difficulties in diagnosing depressions after a suicidal attempt: relative independence of the clinical manifestations of depression on the nosology in the presuicidal period and unmarked intensity of the disorders, capacity of the suicidal act to reduce the manifestations of depression, and the effect of the joy proper of returning to life. In persons who made suicidal attempts, the prognosis of depressions is dependent in a large measure on the disease character.
