Abstract

Objective To examine the differential course and treatment outcome of patients who participated in a randomized clinical trial, comparing cognitive, family, and supportive psychotherapies for adolescent major depressive disorder.Method In a sample of 100 depressed adolescents, remission, clinical recovery, recurrence, and functional improvement were examined at the end of acute treatment and at 1- and 2-year follow-up, according to their type of response to treatment. Rapid response was defined as a decline of > or = 50% in the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score from pretreatment until the beginning of the second session of psychotherapy, intermediate as a decline of < 50% but > 0%, and initial nonresponse as a BDI score that stayed the same or increased.Results Rapid responders showed a better outcome at acute treatment, 1-year, and in some measures, 2-year follow-up. For those who had recurrences over time, rapid responders showed a longer period before recurrence. Subjects were most likely to respond rapidly, or not at all, in the supportive cell.Conclusions These findings suggest that milder forms of depression may benefit from initial supportive therapy or short trials of more specialized types of psychotherapy. The use of a placebo run-in period might help to "wash out" nonspecific responders.

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.
