| Abstract: | Background Psychotic major depression is a clinical subtype of major depressive disorder. A number of clinical studies have demonstrated
the efficacy of the combination of an antidepressant (for example, a tricyclic antidepressant or selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitor (SSRI)) and an atypical antipsychotic or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in treating psychotic major depression.
In several studies, monotherapy of SSRIs such as fluvoxamine has been shown to be effective in the treatment of psychotic
major depression. |
