Abstract
Fifty-one patients with situational major depression were compared to 75 nonsituational depressives, using multiple clinical variables. Very few differences were found between the two groups for the 75 tested variables. The study data is most consistent with the postulate that the division of depressives into situational and nonsituational categories may not be valid.
