The high frequency of people with depressive disorders in Primary Health Care as well as in Hospital and the complexity of care, carry for nurses the need to develop new skills and competences to deal with complete care of patiens and families. To understand a person suffering depressive disorders may be useful an ethnographic look that let us know the subjective expression of the experience of being ill. An appropriate framework to help care is Jean Watsons Philosophy and Science of Human Caring, trough 10 caring factors that frame the nursing role "to take care of ". This paper tries to analyze the subjective experience related to body and mind changes: suffering and pain, self-image and acceptance, lack of energy, loss of hope in patients with depressive disorders. It is not possible to control body and not to control mind. To analyze the subjective experience trough Watsons 10 caring factors, can be a good help.
