The Pharmacologic Treatment of Depression
Abstract
IN the past 30 years, there have been major changes in the diagnosis and treatment of depression. Moreover, the biochemical theories of depression suggest that subgroups of patients respond to drugs that affect particular neurotransmitters, in a manner analogous to suggested subgroup responses in hypertension.1 Nonetheless, the original tricyclic antidepressant agents are still the drugs of choice for most patients with major depressive disorders.2 , 3 What follows is a review directed to creating a rational basis for selection among the available antidepressant drugs.Diagnosis of DepressionDepression is currently diagnosed according to the 1987 revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
