How studying Anxiety, Irritability and Anhedonia improves the knowledge of Depression...

Background

Depression is a mood variation very well known by everyone of us: we all at some moments of our life live it personally or for one of our loved ones.
Depression is better defined by the suffering: we know that suffering could be psychological, but it could be also physical.
Depression could generate anxiety, irritability, lack of pleasure and interest.
At its extreme, it could become a mode of life: anhedonia may represent a lack of motivation, of pleasure, of interest in any kind of relationship.

Objective

This Symposium has for objective to be a place where psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health specialists, psychopharmacologists may meet to discuss what they could bring in terms of diagnosis, treatment and support.

Focus

This Symposium will focus on Anxiety, Irritability and Anhedonia and will look at their relationship with Depression. Are they predictors? Are they only a part of the depression? Do they define clinical forms of Depression? Are they modifying the answer to the antidepressant treatment? Are they an indication for specific antidepressant molecules?

All these questions need longitudinal studies which will be appropriate to define prevalence, incidence and natural evolution of Depression
