[The modern concept of remission in non-psychotic depressive disorders].

The modern concept of remission should take into account its multidimensional structure which includes the complex interaction between clinical (severity/nature of residual symptoms, types of clinical remission), subjective (social functioning and patient's assessment of their condition) and integrative (relapses) characteristics. Based on the study of 385 patients during pharmaco- and psychotherapy, it was shown that the leading role in this structure belongs to the clinical type of remission (full, mono-, poly-symptomatic remission and remission with the structure of minor depression) which, according to the dimensional approach, creates a continuum of states from the complete absence of any symptoms to subsyndromal depression. Subjective and integrative characteristics are determined by clinical types of remission.
