The systematics of affective disorders is traditionally based on nosological or syndromal basis. Accordingly, depressions are distinguished within such forms of mental diseases as manic-depressive psychosis, schizophrenia, psychogenias, etc., as well as within the framework of the classical clinical and etiological dichotomy. This differentiation is made within the framework of a classic clinical and etiological dichotomy, defining the endogenous or exogenous nature of affective disorders. This distinction ignores a wide range of transitional forms (endoreactive depression, characteristic dysthymia, etc.) and endogenous spectrum disorders (endogenomorphic depression) that, while manifesting within personality, somato- and psychogenic pathology, are similar in a number of clinical parameters to such reference endogenous phases as circular melancholia.
