Clinical patterns and treatment outcome in patients with melancholic, atypical and non-melancholic depressions.

<h4>Objective</h4>To assess sociodemographic, clinical and treatment factors as well as depression outcome in a large representative clinical sample of psychiatric depressive outpatients and to determine if melancholic and atypical depression can be differentiated from residual non-melan...
