EXogenous and ENdogenous -- explanation?

Posted by JonW on May 18, 2002, at 20:35:18

Hi,
What's the real difference between exogenous and endogenous depression? I have a nice mix of social phobia, bipolar, and depression -- would this be considered exogenous or endogenous? My guess is it's not a black and white issue. I just stopped luvox in prep for starting nardil, and right now I'm very depressed and suicidal. Can you get this depressed and it be exogenous -- is it a matter of degree or origin? I guess I just want reassurance that once I start nardil life will get better. I guess that's all any of us want, reassurance that it will get better. Any opinions?
Jon
