Masked depressions rival overt depressions in frequency, but unfortunately an early correct diagnosis is rarely made. Psychotherapy in combination with antidepressant drugs is the treatment of choice in these patients, most of whom are severely ill by the time they are first seen by a psychiatrist. The nature of this syndrome and an overview of the treatment procedure is outlined in this paper.
隐匿性抑郁症在发病频率上与显性抑郁症相当,但遗憾的是,早期很少能做出正确诊断。心理治疗与抗抑郁药物联合使用是这些患者的首选治疗方法,其中大多数患者在首次被精神科医生诊治时病情已很严重。本文概述了该综合征的性质及治疗程序。
