A more recent overview notes again that “the current classification of depression is essentially clinical and aetiological and pathophysiological factors do not play a significant role”; it also comments that thanks to the development of operational criteria, diagnosis has become “reasonably reliable” but that “doubts about validity can be resolved only by a better understanding of pathophysiology” (Cowen 2013, 11).
