Journal ArticleDOI

A specific laboratory test for the diagnosis of melancholia. Standardization, validation, and clinical utility.

TL;DR: Abnormal DST results were found with similar frequency among outpatients and inpatients with melancholia; but they were not related to age, sex, recent use of psychotropic drugs, or severity of depressive symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continuation pharmacotherapy in the prevention of relapse following electroconvulsive therapy: a randomized controlled trial.

TL;DR: It is indicated that without active treatment, virtually all remitted patients relapse within 6 months of stopping ECT, and the combination of nortriptyline and lithium is more effective, but the relapse rate is still high, particularly during the first month of continuation therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance to Antidepressant Medications and Short-Term Clinical Response to ECT

TL;DR: The predictive power of medication resistance is generalizable across diverse clinical settings, particularly for heterocyclic antidepressants, which perhaps suggests an overlap in the mechanisms of actions of ECT and this medication class.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of Glucocorticoid Fast Feedback in Depression

TL;DR: The data presented herein are the first demonstration that abnormal feedback occurs at the level of the brain rather than pituitary in depressed patients, and suggest a decreased sensitivity to glucocorticoid fast feedback in depression patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Premenstrual tension syndrome: the development of research diagnostic criteria and new rating scales

TL;DR: Research diagnostic criteria for premenstrual tension syndrome (PMTS) are developed using data collected from a study of 42 women who were suffering from severe PMTS but were well at other times.
