FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: method involves analyzing whole capillary blood on monocytosis and lymphocytosis in the cases the depression is clinically apparent according to Hamilton scale at 22.1±2.3 points determining infrared blood spectroscopy absorption indices in infrared spectral analyzer during 30 s in bandwidth ranges of 3085-2832 cm-1, 1543-1425 cm-1, and 1087-963 cm-1, and determining mean absorption indices. The mean absorption indices being found equal to 40.2±2.0%, 38.0±3.2%, 43.1±1.9%, in bandwidth ranges of 3085-2832 cm-1, 1543-1425 cm-1, and 1087-963 cm-1, in combination with normal monocytosis and lymphocytosis, respectively, depression in remote mild craniocerebral injury period is to be diagnosed. The mean absorption indices being found equal to 49.5±2.6%, 54.4±3.2%, 47.8±2.8%, in bandwidth ranges of 3085-2832 cm-1, 1543-1425 cm-1, and 1087-963 cm-1, in combination with monocytosis > 5% and lymphocytosis >25% in leukocytic formula of bulk blood analysis, respectively, therapeutically resistant depression in remote mild craniocerebral injury period is to be diagnosed.
EFFECT: high accuracy of diagnosis.
