Well, I'm not an expert, and the guy who wrote that stuff is, but I'd say that mild or neurotic depression presents with low mood, anxiety, lack of pleasure etc, all mental symptoms, and that melancholic depression presents with some or all of these PLUS psychomotor retardation, early morning awakening etc.
I dont suppose the lines are totaly clear, there are a lot of shades of grey in there, but it struck me as a reasonable explenation that was technical enough to be of use while being simple enough for a layman to understand.
