Summary
The purpose of the study is to try to see if antidepressant medications cause changes in QEEG
measurements in the brain. QEEG is a mathematical analysis of electrical currents in the
brain using electrodes placed on the scalp. Previous studies have shown that mood improvement
(clinical response) caused by antidepressant medications was preceded by changes in QEEG
measurements in the brain.
