Is Response to Antidepressants an Aid to the Differentiation of Response-specific Types of Depression?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
The problem of classification of depressive illness has in recent years been reviewed by Kiloh and Garside (1963), Sandifer et al. (1966), McConaghy et al. (1967), Kendell (1968 and 1968a), Roth (1969) and Roth and Kerr (1970). Among the parameters differentiating types of depression, response to antidepressants has been employed by Pare et al. (1962), Lopez Ibor (1962) and Kiloh et al. (1962); their results suggest that one type of depression responds to the tricyclic group of antidepressants and the other to the monoamineoxidase inhibitors.
