Depression, subjectivity and and delusive belief

The negative polarity in the discourse of depression has been known from th e first writing on melancholia. This negative polarity has specific linguis tic marks as the increasing of negative modality in the discourse of depres sed patients, This polarity shows the gap between the subjective position o n the world of depressed patients and the stare of the world. Some depresse d states can be linked with delusive symptoms. Our hypothesis is the ontolo gical difference between depression with mood congruent delusion and depres sion with mood incongruent symptoms. In the mood congruent depression, the importance of the negative modality is expressing the preserved subjective position of patients. In the delusive non congruent depression, the deficit in the belief modality is similar re, the finding of schizophrenic or para noiac psychotic patients. The way of this type of depressed states face the world is elaborated as a internal perception and no more as an attitude.
