What are the signs of melancholia?
The melancholic subtype of depression may be best diagnosed when the depressive symptoms are severe, a long history is present, or a strong family history of depression is found. The duration of symptoms is of little clinical usefulness in distinguishing a major depressive episode in the presence of melancholia.
What causes melancholia?
Melancholia and manic episodes can be traced from the biological or cultural standpoint to mood. The underlying mood disorder seems to be genetically inherited, but the specific genes involved are still unknown. The neuro-chemical imbalance hypothesis seems to offer a logical explanation. While it offers more insight into the cause, it raises more questions than answers.
What are common treatments for melancholia?

Does melancholia run in families?
Melancholia with and without bipolar features appears to be more common in families than expected from an Mendelian model in general. Whether this is a consequence of genetic heterogeneity or linkage with other psychiatric traits requires further investigation.
How serious can melancholia be?
