Following on the application of numerical taxonomy to the problem of classifying depressive illnesses, a decision rule for identifying class members has been developed. Its relationship to ECT response supports the validity of regarding `Class B depression' as representing `endogenous' or `psychotic' depression. The depression questionnaire on which this study has been based should prove a useful research tool in the field of depressive illness.
