Summary
Antidepressants are commonly prescribed and are effective for treating depression. However,
they generally take 4-6 weeks for a therapeutic response. This study is evaluating whether
simultaneous treatment with thyroid hormone or pindolol can decrease the response time
("getting better faster") in patients who are starting SSRI treatment.
