A review is made of the concept of "pseudodementia" through the main studies of the literature on clinical series. These can be divided in homogeneous and heterogeneous diagnostic series. Some of the main methodological flows of the research on the subject are pointed out and the difficult problem of differential diagnosis between depressive pseudodementia and recent onset organic dementia is discussed.
