Effectiviteit van antidepressiva bij de behandeling van opgenomen patiënten met een ernstige depressieve stoornis
The main aim of this thesis was to evaluate the efficacy of three phases of a treatment algorithm of inpatients with severe depression: phase I optimal antidepressant monotherapy (plasma level targeted dose imipramine or high-dose (375 mg/day) venlafaxine); phase II subsequent lithium addition in case of insufficient improvement of antidepressant monotherapy; phase Ill subsequent ECT in case of insufficient improvement of antidepressant-lithium treatment. Additionally, this thesis aims to further investigate predictors of antidepressant treatment response, i.e. early drug response, gender and menopausal status.
