La traduction française de la [cinquième édition du Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux] a modifié l'ancienne terminologie «épisode dépressif majeur» pour «épisode dépressif caractérisé». Cette modification permet d'éviter la confusion avec les critères de sévérité de l'épisode (léger, moyen, sévère). 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pisode%20d%C3%A9pressif%20caract%C3%A9ris%C3%A9
