When the antidepressant response is non-pharmacological
01:18:57 am, Categories: Antidepressants The response a depressed patient is showing while on an antidepressant may not be due to the effects of the drug. Response occurring while the patient is on a very low dose, developing very early after treatment commencement, or closely related in timing and context to reversal of a major stress is strongly suggestive of a non-pharmacological response, and continuation therapy with the antidepressant may not be needed in these situations.
