Summary

The RIMAT-De study (Rete Italiana per il Miglioramento dell'Adesione al Trattamento nella Depressione) is a multicentric Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial aiming at identifying the best strategies available to reduce the poor compliance of patients with antidepressant drugs. Patients' compliance will be measured within six months of pharmacological treatment, comparing the specific contributions of brief psychotherapy and psychoeducational interventions: the psychoeducational intervention will encompass the monitoring of drugs' side effects and patients' satisfaction. In the rest of the document, for the sake of brevity the two treatments previously described will be indicated as "psychotherapy" and "psychoeducation". These treatments will be compared with the treatment usually carried on by the mental health centers involved (i.e. treatment as usual, TAU). The factorial design of the study will take into consideration the combination of the two treatments (i.e. psychotherapy and psychoeducation) as well.
