Abstract
One hundred and fifty-two depressed inpatients were classified endogenous or neurotic according to the Newcastle Diagnostic Scale. Endogenous depressives were significantly more likely than neurotic depressives to be treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Newcastle subtyping was not associated with response to ECT; however, neurotic depressives not treated with ECT were more symptomatic at hospital discharge than endogenous depressives not treated with ECT. A prospective 6 month follow-up interview was completed with 85% of the patients. There was no association between Newcastle subtyping and follow-up outcome.
