Independent Depressive Disorder as a Differential Diagnosis to Substance/Medication-Induced Depressive Disorder

A substance/medication-induced depressive disorder is distinguished from an independent depressive disorder by the presence of depressive symptoms occurring apart from substance or medication use. If the depressive syndrome does not occur when the substance or medication is being used, it should be diagnosed as an independent depressive disorder.
