outcome will be examined.
Non psychotic depressed patients that are initiating an antidepressant treatment will be
recruited. Socio demographic and clinical features will be recorded as well as their
expectations before the treatment. Severity of depression and treatment characteristics will
be recorded after 4 to 8 weeks of drug treatment at an adequate dose. Variables will be
compared between the patients that will achieve remission and those that do not.
