Abstract
Among inpatients treated without ECT, those with primary unipolar depression had significantly better outcomes at discharge than did those with secondary depression. This difference grew more striking during a 6-month follow-up; patients with secondary depression were clearly less likely to recover from the index depressive episode and had substantially higher symptom levels at the time of follow-up. In contrast, patients with DSM-III melancholia resembled depressed patients without melancholia on all outcome measures.
