- Title
The facets of melancholia.
- Authors
Coryell, W
- Abstract
To clarify the role of 'melancholia' in psychiatric nomenclature. Most clinicians and researchers are convinced that the syndrome currently termed major depressive disorder encompasses multiple subgroups that differ meaningfully in phenomenology, natural history, treatment response, and pathophysiology. Delusional depression and melancholia have attracted the most empirical work, but efforts to define the latter condition have declined in recent years following a number of failures to show the validity of the melancholic/nonmelancholic distinction.
