Appetitive Symptoms Differentially Predict Treatment Response to Fluoxetine, Light, and Placebo in Nonseasonal Major Depression

摘要

Objective: We previously reported that morning bright light therapy is efficacious in adults with nonseasonal major depressive disorder (MDD), both on its own and in combination with fluoxetine. Given that appetitive symptoms predict response to bright light therapy in seasonal depression, we examined, in this secondary analysis, whether the same held true in these nonseasonal MDD patients.
