October 7, 2010 Researchers with the McMaster University Evidence Based Practice Center released a draft report that found that adding an atypical antipsychotic medication was found to be an effective second step for persons first treated for depression with an SSRI, but who failed to respond. Higher response and remission rates after the addition of an atypical antipsychotic, compared to adding a placebo, were supported by moderate grade evidence. Switching to another antidepressant was supported by low-grade evidence, as was combining cognitive behavioral therapy with an antidepressant. Comments on the report will be accepted through November 3, 2010. Download . . .
