Outcome measures tested by a General Linear Model Repeated Measures analysis. Testing was initially done for all subjects together, and then for subjects grouped into high or low Ham-D groups based on initial Ham-D scores.

1 – Subset of patients with Ham-D scores < 27

2 – Subset of patients with Ham-D scores ≥ 27
