Onlyone-third of patientsbeingtreatedwithSSRIsfordepressionachieveremission on the first drug tried(Verqouwen AC etal. 2007; Bondolfi G etal. 2006; Trivediet al.2006 ) • 25-30% of non-responders to first-line treatment can achieve remission by switching to- or adding of a second medication(Papakostas GI etal. 2008; Ruhé HG et al.2006) Treatment of Depression All of this leads to prolonged suffering of depressed patients and to enormous expenses for society Every day in depressionrepresentshugeindividual and socialburden. • Clinical improvement generally requires 4-12 weeks • • Over 30% of patients prescribed antidepressants discontinuetreatment before 30 days of therapy( (Sheehanet al.2004) Anyinterventionshortening period of disabilitysaves a lot of suffering and expenses.

Design of our study Baseline MADRS, BDI, CGI, EEG I Onset of treatment 4weeks treatment MADRS, BDI, CGI, EEG III Medication Responders: Venlafaxine 2 Escitalopram 1 Clomipramine 1 Bupropion 1 Non-responders: Venlafaxine 5 Escitalopram 2 Mirtazapine 1 Citalopram 1 Bupropion 1 Clomipramine 1 Milnacipran 1 Response was defined as equal to or morethan 50% reduction of MADRS scores and remission asMADRS scores less than 12 points after four weeks oftreatment.

Conclusions • QEEG cordance integrates absolute and relative powerinformation. • Change of QEEG average cordance from 3 frontal electrodes (Fp1, Fp2 and Fz) in theta band (4-8Hz) predicts therapeutic response to antidepressants after one week of AD administration • PPV≈0.7; NPV≈0.9; SENS 90-100%; SPEC 60-90% Predictor: QEEG Cordance Anyinterventionshortening period of disabilitysaves a lot of suffering and expenses.
