Chronic Anergic-anhedonic Depression Open Trial

University Hospital, Strasbourg, France60 enrolled

Overview

A form of depression called 'dopamine-sensitive anergic-anhedonic syndrome is usually resistant to standard therapies (TRAD). On the other hand, they respond to dopaminergic approaches for which recommendations have been developed: DATA ('Dopaminergic Antidepressant Therapy Algorithm'). These are two stages starting with non-selective monoamineoxidase inhibitors (MAOI) or dopamine D2 receptor agonists (D2RAG) in 'monotherapy' (DATA1) and proposing to combine them in the event of a partial response (DATA2). The effectiveness of this approach in the management of TRAD has not yet been evaluated in routine care. The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness in routine care of the DATA recommendations in the management of TRAD presenting to a specialized consultation for resistant depression (short and long-term results).
