One hundred and thirty depressive states of the cyclothymic level have been analyzed in 51 patients (24 boys and 27 girls) or prepuberal and puberal age who suffered from slowly progressive schizophrenia. Five types of the depressive syndrome have been specified, namely simple, anxiety-like, dysphoric, adynamic and asthenic. An atypical nature of these types due both to the form of the disease course and age-specificity is shown.
