Is "anhaltend" the same as "chronic' or is just "persistent"? Is there a medical term for "ausgeprägten", is it just "pronounced". It wouldn't be severe, right?:
Die Mutter litt nach dem tödlichen Unfall an einer anhaltend ausgeprägten Depression, der Vater an einer Erschöpfungsdepression. Beide waren bei dem Unfall nicht anwesend.

lingering (and) marked/pronounced depression
I am rather confident on the "lingerin" side - and for what it is worth, get a good numbr of Google confirmatins. I have no preference for marked or your suggestion (pronounced).

Kim Metzger
: anhaltend ausgeprägt - lingering marked depression? lingering pronounced depression? Put those phrases in quotation marks in Google and see what you get. No Google confirmations. Anhaltend isn't lingering.

persistent pronounced depression
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'.

severe chronic depression
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.
