The concept of "vegetative depression" (1949) by Rudolf Lemke - an obsolete<br />
concept<br />
J. Thormann, H. Himmerich, H. Steinberg, Leipzig<br />
OBJECTIVE: In 1949 East German psychiatrist Rudolf Lemke presented his concept of a vegetative, i. e.,<br />
anxious depression due to a vegetative dysfunction, in which the mental symptoms are dominated and<br />
oppressed by somatic complaints.<br />
METHODS: The strengths and weaknesses of Lemke's concept will be analysed with particular reference<br />
to earlier, similar theories, such as those by Cimbal, Hempel, and Rosenfeld.<br />
RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: The fact that, due to the dominance of physical symptoms, many patients<br />
suffering from this disease consult a general practitioner even today proves that Lemke dealt with a<br />
problem most significant both for psychiatry and general medicine.<br />
