Melancholia and atypical depression in the Zurich study: epidemiology, clinical characteristics, course, comorbidity and personality.

CONCLUSION: Melancholic MDE was more severe than atypical MDE although the two groups shared many characteristics. The longitudinal overlap of melancholia with atypical depression in almost half of all cases calls for comparative analyses of combined, pure and unspecified MDE.
