	You are a Melancholic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Melancholics are characterized by the element of Earth, the season of Autumn, middle-aged adulthood, the color blue, and the characteristics of "Cold" and "Dry." Famous Melancholics include St. John of the Cross, St. John the Divine, St. Francis, and St. Catherine of Siena.
		Melancholic persons who give way to this disposition to look at everything through a dark glass, gradually become pessimists, that is, persons who always expect a bad result; hypochondriacs, that is, persons who complain continually of insignificant ailments and constantly fear grave sickness; misanthropes, that is, persons who suffer from fear and hatred of men.
		Melancholic educators, too, often commit the fault of keeping silent too long about a fault of their charges and when at last they are forced to speak, they do it in such an unfortunate and harsh manner, that the pupils become discouraged and frightened by such admonitions, instead of being encouraged and directed.

	Four Temperaments
		A melancholic person is made suspicious and reticent by a rude word or an unfriendly mien; by continuous kind treatment, on the contrary, he is made pliable, trusting, affectionate.
		And if a melancholic person is slow, hesitating, undecided; if he does not speak much and even if he says awkwardly the little he has to say; or if a sanguine person is very talkative, light-minded, and frivolous; if a phlegmatic cannot be aroused from his usual indifference, he does not become irritated.
		Many things which cause a melancholic person a great, deal of anxiety and trouble do not affect the sanguine in the least, because he is an optimist and as such overlooks difficulties and prefers to look at affairs from the sunny side.

	Experimental Neuropsychology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		MR was employed with a sample of both melancholic (n=8) and non-melancholic (n=9) unipolar depressed patients and healthy controls (n=10) to determine if motor slowing associated with depression might be reflected in slowed motor preparation (as reflected in the slope of the MR function) independently of actual motor slowing (overall response time).
		Melancholic patients were significantly slower than controls with no reduction in external cues and with a moderate reduction in external cues.
		At a high level of reduction in external cues, seven of 12 melancholic patients (but only three of 12 non-melancholic patients and controls) were unable to complete the task; suggesting a greater reliance on external cues, perhaps implicating a failure of motor planning ability in melancholic patients.

	CD Baby: JONATHAN PETERS: The Sweet Sadness - songs of melancholy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The melancholic temperament is perhaps the most interesting of the four temperaments and the inspiration for this CD.
		Although it is true that melancholics aren't usually the most bubbly of people, there are many other aspects which go into making up this temperament, such as an inclination to reflection, deep thoughts, and love of solitude.
		The melancholic is dissatisfied with the things of this earth and has a very strong belief in, and a great longing to find and possess some "ultimate good".

	Four classic temperaments and spirituality
		However great his intelligence, the melancholic can be prey because if, for example, he encounters deceit when he himself is focused on truth and honesty, it will not occur to him that others do not have similar ideals.
		The melancholic who founded a religious Order, for example, may well have composed a lengthy and detailed Rule of Life, that those whose focus is "pure and simple" obedience may fail to grasp is based on his concern that certain practises will be essential for the higher goal of spiritual growth.
		Our profound choleric and melancholic friends, much as their temperaments may be respectively fire and ice, are likely to "leave their mark" to quite an extraordinary extent when presented with the opportunity.

		Patients were also subdivided in accordance with the severity of their illness on the Clinical Global Impression Scale as being either mildly ill, moderately ill, or severely-extremely ill. Importantly, severity of illness did not segregate the treatment response as did the endogenous-nonendogenous dichotomy.
		These melancholic patients were possibly less severely ill than the patients in the other studies.
		The authors analyzed data on 664 patients with either severe, melancholic, or recurrent depression from four randomized placebo-controlled double-blind studies that were 6 to 8 weeks in duration.

	Imaging technology may be used to diagnose melancholic depression
		In the brain, low levels of the inhibitory transmitter GABA and high levels of the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate appear to be strongly associated with a particular type of depression, according to a study by Yale researchers.
		Author Gerard Sanacora, assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and director of the Yale Depression Research Program, said the reductions in cortical GABA and increased glutamate were particularly associated with the presence of melancholic and psychotic features in patients with major depressive disorder.
		Melancholia is a relatively common form of depression marked by insomnia, loss of appetite, and loss of pleasure.

	News - Antidepressant Class Differentially Effective in the Treatment of Melancholic Depression
		Melancholic depressed patients who are 40 years or older, especially men, appear to show a superior response to the tricyclic antidepressant drug (TCA) nortriptyline, whereas younger patients, especially women, show a superior response to the serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine.
		The researchers report that melancholic depressed patients aged 40 years or older, especially men, had a superior response to nortriptyline compared with fluoxetine based on CORE criteria.
		Likewise, with DSM-IV criteria, the response rates of melancholic patients aged 40 years or older were 60% with nortriptyline and 53% with fluoxetine, while in the melancholic patients 18-24 years the response rates were 69% with fluoxetine and 44% with nortriptyline.

		The second group consisted of 19 individuals with melancholic depression, who were taken from a larger group of 33 CFS-like persons with a psychiatric explanation for their chronic fatigue illness (Melancholic Depression group).
		Melancholic Depression was diagnosed using the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-IV (SCID) (Spitzer et al., 1995), which is a valid and reliable semi-structured interview guide that approximates a traditional psychiatric interview.
		Melancholic Depression is defined by either the absence of pleasure in almost all activities or lack of reactivity to usually pleasurable stimuli.

	Hamlet essays - Melancholic Hamlet
		Hamlet is a melancholic young man who does not value human life; however, he will do anything it takes to accomplish his main goal: revenge on Claudius for the death of his father.
		His melancholic attitude is very apparent in the second scene of Act I, when he suggests that his mother, in mourning his fathers death, is simply acting the part of a grief stricken widow, while he is a truly heart broken son.
		Another example from his first soliloquy of his melancholic state occurs when he discovers the rapid marriage of his mother and his uncle, where he finds himself both sad and mad at the fact that his mother could move on so quickly.

	Vasopressin and Depression -- Neurotransmitter.net
		Since arginine vasopressin (AVP) activates the HPA axis, and both major depression and the melancholic subcategory are associated with elevated plasma AVP levels, we investigated whether the plasma AVP level is also elevated in anxious-retarded depression, melancholic depression and anxious-retarded melancholic depression, and whether plasma AVP and cortisol levels are correlated in these subcategories.
		In melancholic patients increased vasopressin levels in plasma correlated with a weak 24-h periodicity of body temperature.
		The melancholic subcategory depended on the interaction between the sum scores, as well as on the interaction between the dichotomized scores for anxiety and retardation that constitute the anxious-retarded subcategory.
