“…However, because retardation is considered to be the most severe symptom of the melancholia subscale (24) and we would exclude this item for calculation of an adapted score (HDRS5), we have chosen to use the full HDRS in our analyses after all. We can confirm a somewhat greater age-controlled correlation between the CORE and the HDRS5 subscale ( r =0.497, p <0.001) than between the CORE and the HDRS15 ( r =0.433, p <0.001), which is consistent with findings by Caldieraro et al (25).…”

“…Several other studies have compared nonmelancholic with melancholic patients based on this cutoff [4, 9, 43, 44]. Patients who scored < 8 points formed the NMD group, while those who scored ≥8 were classified as MD patients.…”

Distinguishing Subgroups Based on Psychomotor Functioning among Patients with Major Depressive Disorder

Background: Retardation and agitation are symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD), and their presence could play a role in determining clinically meaningful depressive subtypes such as nonmelancholic depression (NMD) and melancholic depression (MD). In this project, we explored whether three depression subgroups (NMD, MD with psychotic symptoms, and MD without psychotic symptoms) could be distinguished based on objective measures of psychomotor functioning. Methods: Sixty-nine patients with MDD underwent extensive clinical and psychomotor testing prior to treatment with electroconvulsive therapy. Psychomotor functioning was assessed subjectively using the Core Assessment of Psychomotor Change (CORE) and objectively by means of both 24-h actigraphy and performance on a fine motor drawing task. Results: The daytime activity levels measured by actigraphy were significantly lower (F = 7.1, p = 0.0004) in MD patients both with and without psychotic symptoms than in those with NMD. No objective psychomotor variable was able to distinguish between melancholic patients with and those without psychotic symptoms. Conclusions: The depression subtypes NMD, MD with psychotic symptoms, and MD without psychotic symptoms are not marked by increasing psychomotor retardation, possibly because psychomotor disturbance in MD with psychotic symptoms often consists of agitation rather than retardation, or a mixture of the two. However, psychomotor functioning as measured by actigraphy can be used to distinguish between NMD patients and MD patients.

“…Caldieraro et al found that the HAM-D6 did better than the 17-item version at identifying patients with melancholic depression according to the CORE. 13 The SMPI and the prototypical approach to melancholia Parker et al 1,14 and Joyce et al 15 pointed to some limitations of the CORE and other traditional melancholia The SMPI, an adaptation of the Self Report of Cultural Adaptation, which includes 10 steps described below. 16…”

Introduction: Depression is possibly not a single syndrome but rather comprises several subtypes. DSM-5 proposes a melancholia specifier with phenotypic characteristics that could be associated with clinical progression, biological markers or therapeutic response. The Sydney Melancholia Prototype Index (SMPI) is a prototypic scale aimed to improve the diagnosis of melancholia. So far, there is only an English version of the instrument available. The aim of this study is to describe the translation and adaptation of the English version of the SMPI into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the self-report (SMPI-SR) and clinician-rated (SMPI-CR) versions into Brazilian Portuguese were done following recommendations of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR). This guideline includes the following steps: preparation, forward translation, reconciliation, back translation, back translation review, harmonization, cognitive debriefing, debriefing results review, proofreading and final report. Results: The Brazilian Portuguese versions of the SMPI were well-accepted by respondents. Changes in about two-thirds of the items were considered necessary to obtain the final Brazilian Portuguese version of the SMPI. Conclusions: Both versions of the SMPI are now available in Brazilian Portuguese. The instrument could become an important option to enhance studies on melancholia in Portuguese-speaking samples.
