Abstract

Although depressive disorders have been known for centuries, drug treatment is relatively recent. It was only in the 1950s, when studyof a drug for tuberculosis, Iproniazid, that its antidepressant propertieswere identified. After 50 years more selective and specific drugs have been discovered. The authors review not only new realities in depressive psychopathology, but also the latest innovations of psychopharmacology.
