Olfactory hallucinations, though rarely noted in depression, may offer insights into affective disorders. This review highlights their significance for understanding brain function and psychopathology in depression.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychiatry
  • Sensory Perception

Context:

  • Olfactory hallucinations are infrequently recognized as a symptom of depressive disorder.
  • Existing literature lacks comprehensive exploration of their psychopathological significance.

Purpose:

  • To review the literature on olfactory hallucinations in depressive disorder.
  • To clarify conceptual and epidemiological aspects.
  • To emphasize their importance for psychopathology, sensory perception, and body self-awareness.

Summary:

  • Olfactory hallucinations are linked to the olfactory reference syndrome and offer a biological interpretation of affective disorders.
  • Disturbed olfactory perception exemplifies disrupted brain function during depression.
  • These symptoms bridge affective disorders with neuropsychiatric conditions and neurobiological models, particularly temporal lobe epilepsies.

Impact:

  • Highlights the potential role of olfactory disturbances in understanding the neurobiology of depression.
  • Suggests olfactory hallucinations as a connecting element between affective and other neuropsychiatric disorders.
  • Underscores the need for further research into olfactory dysfunction in affective disorders and its relation to temporal lobe epilepsy.
