Bart's experience of hallucinations indicates the presence of psychotic features, which can occur in major depression. Catatonic features refer to physical symptoms such as immobility or maintaining a fixed posture, melancholic features refer to severe symptoms such as loss of pleasure and intense guilt or worthlessness, and atypical features refer to symptoms that do not fit the typical presentation of depression (such as oversleeping or overeating).
