    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry and Neurobiology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Primary affective disorder and major depressive disorder require effective antidepressant treatments.
    • Understanding the clinical and biological factors influencing treatment selection is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review clinical factors important in antidepressant treatment of primary affective disorder.
    • To discuss antidepressant drug selection based on clinical and biological criteria.
    • To comment on neuro-endocrine tests and neurobiology research trends in major depressive disorder.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of clinical factors in antidepressant therapy.
    • Discussion of drug selection strategies.
    • Reference to validated neuro-endocrine tests for major depressive disorder assessment.
    • Commentary on current research in the neurobiology of affective disorders.

    Main Results:

    • Clinical factors significantly influence the choice of antidepressants.
    • Biological grounds, including neuro-endocrine assessments, aid in optimizing drug selection.
    • Recent neuro-endocrine tests offer new avenues for assessing major depressive disorder.
    • Ongoing research explores the neurobiological underpinnings of these disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing antidepressant therapy for primary affective disorder involves considering both clinical presentation and biological markers.
    • Neuro-endocrine tests and neurobiology research are advancing the understanding and treatment of major depressive disorder.
