Forty-six cases (29 males, 17 females) of depression are examined about social background, premorbid personalities, precipitating factors and the relationship between them.As premorbid personalities, Cycloid Temperament described by Kretschmer is found in 56.5%, but "Adhesive Personality" by Shimoda is found in 71.7%. Both personalities concomitantly appear in 39.1%.Thirty-three patients out of forty-six (71.7%) have some problems as precipitating factors. For the male patients, most of them are those concerned with the occupation, for example, promotion, malrelationship among the co-workers and difficulty in completing their tasks, but more than half of the female patients complain familial problems.Most of the male patients belong to so called white-color and half of them have had higher education (college); in the female patients, however, more than 70% have finished regular shooling only. Such a marked discrepancy between males and females is not seen in hypochondriasis.Today, one should be flexible in every direction to complete the tasks in the community, where everything undergoes rapid change, but the patients of depression have very rigid personalities, so they could not adapt themselves adequately to the new situation. This mechanism sould be considered important to understand the occurrence of the disease.
