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.
