Identifying neuroimaging features to diagnose major depressive disorder (MDD) and predict treatment response remains challenging. Using the pretreatment dominant coactivation pattern (dCAP) analysis approach, we aimed to identify patients with MDD and predict antidepressant efficacy. Seventy-seven first-episode unmedicated MDD patients and forty-tw...

BackgroundQuestionnaires used in longitudinal studies may have questions added or removed over time for numerous reasons. Data missing completely at a follow-up survey is a unique issue for longitudinal studies. While such excluded questions lack information at one follow-up survey, they are collected at other follow-up surveys, and covariances obs...

Anhedonia is a symptom associated with poorer outcomes in depression treatment, including resistance to treatment, higher functional impact and suicidality. Few drugs are known to adequately treat anhedonia in both unipolar and bipolar depression. The NMDA antagonist ketamine has been demonstrated to be effective in rapidly ameliorating anhedonia i...

Only a small number of consistent processes predict which depressed patients will achieve remission with antidepressant medication. One set of processes is that of social ranking strategies/variables that are related to life events and severe difficulties. Particularly, defeat and entrapment predict poorer response to antidepressants. However, resu...

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been linked to executive functions (EF) deficits that can be improved after pharmacological treatment, but it is unclear whether there is a class of antidepressants that is more effective than others to ameliorate these deficits in MDD. Additionally, the possible effects of clinical and demographic variables on t...

Currently available data on the prescription practice among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) reflect the outpatient setting. This is the first study to provide information on time trends of psychotropic drug utilization in psychiatric inpatients. Data stems from German-speaking psychiatric hospitals collected by the program "Drug Safet...

BackgroundMajor depressive disorder (MDD) shows large heterogeneity of symptoms between patients, but within patients, particular symptom clusters may show similar trajectories. While symptom clusters and networks have mostly been studied using cross-sectional designs, temporal dynamics of symptoms within patients may yield information that facilit...
