I think they are saying that melancholic depression is defined by the symptoms of low mood, lack of happiness, anxiety etc PLUS psychomotor retardation.
I'd say suicide idealisation would be one of the keys for me - if you're seriously thinking of offing your self, then you probably have a melancholic depression, if you just if you have vauge thoughts that "I'd be better off dead" you might only have a mild depression.
