[Central serous chorioretinitis and depressive disorder - a psychosomatic perspective].

Central serous chorioretinitis serosa is repeatedly brought into aetiological considerations with a rather unspecific concept of distress. Depressive disorder represents a specific stressor, which is known in cardiology or diabetology as a significant risk factor. In the present case report, the clinical correlation between a central serous chorioretinitis and a depressive disorder is shown from a psychosomatic point of view, comparing a sequentially-reactive understanding of the disorder complex with a preferable model of simultaneous entanglement.
