What is discrete depression?
Anyone know? I seen this on a form my psychiatrist filled out under "ongoing investigations". |

Hello, chickenfoot. Not much I could find.
Anxiety and depression: discrete diag... [J Clin Psychopharmacol. 1990] - PubMed - NCBI At first distinguishes discrete from generalized but then talks of blending. You might get a better response here: Ask the Therapist I wish you well. |

Chickenfoot, all that I can think of is that your psychiatrist was using "discrete depression" as a synonym for "situational depression".
Situational depression arises from specific events (relationship issues, work problems, family things) - the contrast is with clinical depression which is usually not triggered by specific events. |

I have never heard of it.
What does "ongoing investigations" mean? Investigating a diagnosis?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
