Sadness is considered by numerous authors to be a core symptom of depression. Currently, many arguments exist for its particular importance in depressed patients. Sadness makes up part of the various definitions of the depressive syndrome, even if its presence is not required for diagnosis. Furthermore, it is closely linked to the other depressive symptoms, and has prognostic value, in particular for remission. The recognition and measurement of sadness seem important for therapeutic evaluation, in clinical studies, and in depressed patients at an individual level. This paper presents a selective review of some of the various aspects of sadness as an integral part of depression, and an examination of its links with a disease which is a major health concern.
许多作者认为悲伤是抑郁症的核心症状。目前，关于其在抑郁症患者中的特殊重要性存在诸多观点。悲伤构成了抑郁综合征各种定义的一部分，即便诊断时并非必需出现该症状。此外，它与其他抑郁症状紧密相连，且具有预后价值，尤其是对于缓解情况而言。悲伤的识别与测量在临床研究以及个体层面的抑郁症患者治疗评估中似乎都很重要。本文对悲伤作为抑郁症组成部分的一些不同方面进行了选择性综述，并探讨了其与一种重大健康问题疾病之间的联系。
