Sensory and Psychomotor Profile in Depression (DEPCOR)

Despite a possible psychomotor retardation during a depressive episode, standardized psychomotor assessment is rare. So, other possible psychomotor disorders or neurological "soft signs" are not known in depression.

The investigator propose in this study to explore the psychomotor characteristics of patients with a major depressive disorder from the realization of a psychomotor assessment in comparison with adult without depressive disorder (control). It will be specifically assess muscle tone, gross motor skills, praxis, body schema and the body image and the perceptions.
