peer agreement (net): +1persistent pronounced depression Explanation: or: persistent severe depression 'Anhaltend' could be interpreted as chronic but most probably the German text would say 'chronisch'. That is why I agree with your choice of 'persistent'. According to the Thieme Med. Dict. there is one translation for 'ausgeprägt' and that is 'chesty' which obviously does not fit into this context. So I would either go with 'pronounced' or 'severe'. Ref: Thieme Leximed |

severe chronic depression Explanation: Ausgeprägt- severe. Anhaltend- chronic. The source text is not written in high medicine speak so I would be inclined to keep it simple. This simple translation does not make it less correct. |
