Abstract

The authors present a bibliography concerning post mortem studies in depression and suicide victims. They stress the difficulties of this trans-disciplinary approach, joining clinical, toxicological, anatomopathological, and biological points of view. Concerning indolamines, catecholamines, receptors studies, an analysis of the results shows major methodological differences. This makes any comparison between these studies impossible. Recommendations are made for an agreement between the groups leading to an uniformity of methodologies.
