The major depression with psychotic symptoms (CIM-10) or psychotic features (DSM-IV) is relatively frequent and probably underdiagnosed. During the last years there is a renewal of interest to better understand its psychopathology and to propose specific psychotherapeutic treatments. Concerning the pharmacological treatment, the discussion is still open about the necessity of the association of an antipsychotic or the choice of the antidepressant.
