Depressive episode is the scientifically binding name ( ICD-10 , Chapter V) for the clinical picture of depression . It is characterized by the symptoms of Major Depressive Disorder according to DSM-5 and includes or replaces the diagnoses of endogenous depression and neurotic depression that were customary until 1991 . The term major depression is also used in psychology .
A causal characterization of the depressive illness is thereby abandoned in order to hide the discretionary leeway between the poles endogenous and neurotic. The diagnosis of a depressive episode refers exclusively to the symptoms that can be objectively identified.
For severity of the depressive episode, see Depression, Diagnosis section .
