We intend to test in a randomized, rater blinded, placebo controlled, prospective study the primary hypothesis that an escitalopram-rTMS-combination treatment is more efficacious in the treatment of refractory major depression assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
Major depression occurs with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder in up to 60% of psychiatric and primary care patients.(1) An estimated 85% of adults with depression experience significant symptoms of anxiety and 58% have a diagnosable anxiety disorder during their lifetime.(2) Numerous studies have shown that symptoms of anxiety are frequent in patients with major depressive disorder, and the presence of anxiety symptoms is associated with a more severe and chronic course.(3,4) This comorbidity has been associated with a greater severity of depression, poorer psychosocial functioning, poorer treatment response and higher risk for suicide. The data suggests that novel antipsychotics have antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. This study will explore the impact of this effect in patients with major depression and comorbid anxiety symptoms. This study offers the possibility of systematically reviewing the role of quetiapine in depression with anxiety. If the combination of an SSRI or SNRI and quetiapine proves to effective it could offer a viable alternative to widespread benzodiazepine use.
The primary purpose of the research study is to use recordings of brain electrical activity (through electroencephalogram, or EEG) and symptom measurements to determine whether patients are likely to show a response to medication or placebo treatment during a treatment trial for depression.
The purpose of this study is to identify genes involved in depression. Specifically, the investigators will analyze some genes that may be related to whether or not a person responds to antidepressant medication. This project is part of basic scientific research to increase understanding of the role of genetic influences in psychological and mental processes involved in the response to treatment for depression.
During perimenopause (the time just prior to menopause), women often notice many biological, psychological, and social changes. In particular, some women experience depressive symptoms during perimenopause that are severe enough to warrant antidepressant medication. Whether or not women with perimenopausal depression respond to antidepressant medication may depend on the level of estrogen in their blood. This study will investigate whether estrogen will help women who only partially respond to antidepressant medications, as well as examine how different doses of estrogen may affect individuals differently.
