dc.description.abstractObjective: To understand the dynamics by which patients signify their depressive experience. Methodology: A qualitative methodology was used, based on the Grounded Theory. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 patients diagnosed with a mood disorder with depressive episode, who had been in a psychotherapy treatment about it. The interviews were analyzed from a descriptive-relational approach, recognizing the main thematic units referred by the participants, and then identifying their relationships and underlying meanings. Results: The meaning of "depression" experience was revealed as a process, named "subjective construction of depression experience", characterized by three moments: (1) "The experience of an unnamed discomfort"; (2) "Anchoring the patient's experience in the word depression"; (3) "Appropriation of depression experience". Conclusion: The depressive experience is presented as a dynamic process of interaction between subjective discomfort and the construction of meanings associated to it. Transitioning from a disconcerting experience observed on their body, mood, and/or their behaviour, to something available to be elaborated discursively, through a semantic reference (depression) that integrates them, originates a process of appropriation about what it implies for each individual to be depressed or have depression.
