Melancholic depressed subjects scored significantly higher than did nonmelancholic subjects both on the depressive symptoms used and those not used for melancholic subtyping. The results suggest that DSM-III's melancholic criteria do not identify a qualitatively distinct subgroup, but instead reflect illness severity.
