A variety of depressive classifications were used to predict response to four weeks' treatment with phenelzine. Better response was found in outpatients rather than inpatients, in atypical depressives, in less severe depressives with a pattern of anxiety and other neurotic symptoms, and in groups characterized as hostile and agitated. The findings, although a little patchy, gave clear support to the concept of a specific clinical group responsive to MAO inhibitors.
使用了多种抑郁分类方法来预测对苯乙肼四周治疗的反应。结果发现，门诊患者而非住院患者、非典型抑郁症患者、伴有焦虑和其他神经症症状模式的病情较轻的抑郁症患者以及具有敌意和烦躁特征的群体，对治疗的反应更好。这些发现虽然有些零散，但明确支持了存在对单胺氧化酶抑制剂有反应的特定临床群体这一概念。
