The evaluation of depression in the setting of medical disease is a complex task that requires considerable clinical skills. Physical illness is a common cause of psychopathology and this should alert the physician to vigorously search for possible organic explanations of depressive symptoms, especially in the elderly, where organic affective syndromes seem to be most prevalent. The multifactorial determinants and modes of expression of depression in the medically ill require further psychosomatic studies.
在患有内科疾病的情况下评估抑郁症是一项复杂的任务，需要相当的临床技能。躯体疾病是精神病理学的常见原因，这应提醒医生积极寻找抑郁症状可能的器质性解释，尤其是在老年人中，器质性情感综合征似乎最为普遍。内科疾病中抑郁症的多因素决定因素和表现方式需要进一步的身心研究。
