Paul "wonder[ed]: Have there been any studies of the effects of various anti-depressants on high versus low levels of this catch-all called 'depression?'"
A study published in the January JAMA looked at that very thing: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/303/1/47 "The magnitude of benefit of antidepressant medication compared with placebo increases with severity of depression symptoms and may be minimal or nonexistent, on average, in patients with mild or moderate symptoms. For patients with very severe depression, the benefit of medications over placebo is substantial." -- Sue Frantz <http://flightline.highline.edu/sfrantz/> Highline Community College Psychology, Coordinator Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [email protected] Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology, Associate Director Teaching of Psychology Idea Exchange (ToPIX) APA Division 2: Society for the Teaching of Psychology <http://teachpsych.org/otrp/syllabi/syllabi.php> APA's p...@cc Committee <http://www.apa.org/ed/pcue/ptatcchome.html> --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
