Analyzes the problems of diagnosis, classification, and assessment of psychogenic depression in forensic psychiatric practice. Clinical manifestations of such depressions are variable and numerous; the range of psychogenic depressions includes the borderline and psychotic forms each of which may be a separate entity or represent a stage in the development of a reactive depression. Distinguishing of these variants may be reasonable to assess the severity of a depressive disorder when deciding expert problems and for assessing the capacity of the subject exposed to expert evaluation to take advantage of his or her legal rights.
分析法医精神病学实践中的心因性抑郁症的诊断、分类和评估问题。此类抑郁症的临床表现多样且众多；心因性抑郁症的范围包括边缘型和精神病型，其中每一种可能是一个独立的实体，或者代表反应性抑郁症发展过程中的一个阶段。区分这些变体对于在决定专家问题时评估抑郁症的严重程度以及评估接受专家评估的对象利用其合法权利的能力可能是合理的。
