Objective: The aim of this study was to present the reliability and validity Children's Depression Rating Scale–Revised (CDRS-R) in adolescent age group. Method: Adolescents with symptoms depression were assessed using CDRS-R global severity functioning scales at screening, baseline, after 12 weeks fluoxetine treatment. Global improvement also week (or exit). Reliability analyzed Classical Test Theory (item-total correlations internal consistency) between other outcomes. Results: (n = 145)...
The authors sought to identify predictors of self-harm adverse events in treatment-resistant, depressed adolescents during the first 12 weeks treatment.Depressed (N=334) who had not responded a previous trial with an SSRI antidepressant were randomized switch either another or venlafaxine, without cognitive behavior therapy. Self-harm events, i.e., suicidal and non-suicidal self-injury assessed by spontaneous report for 181 participants, systematic weekly assessment last 153...
Major depressive disorder in adolescents is common and impairing. Efficacious treatments have been developed, but little known about longer-term outcomes, including recurrence.To determine whether who responded to short-term or received the most efficacious treatment would lower recurrence rates, identify predictors of recovery recurrence.Naturalistic follow-up study.Twelve academic sites United States.One hundred ninety-six (86 males 110 females) randomized 1 4 interventions (fluoxetine...
Objective The purpose of this study was to report on the outcome participants in Treatment Resistant Depression Adolescents (TORDIA) trial after 24 weeks treatment, including remission and relapse rates predictors treatment outcome. Method (ages 12–18 years) with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI)-resistant depression were randomly assigned either a medication switch alone (alternate SSRI or venlafaxine) plus cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). At week 12, responders could...
The authors compared fluoxetine and placebo in continuation treatment to prevent relapse of major depressive disorder children adolescents.After a detailed evaluation, adolescents 7-18 years age with were treated openly fluoxetine.

Major depression in adolescents is a significant public health concern because of its frequency and severity. To examine the neurobiological basis this population, authors studied functional activation characteristics brain before after antidepressant treatment antidepressant-naive depressed healthy comparison subjects.Depressed (N=19) (N=21) adolescents, ages 11 to 18 years, underwent MRI assessment while viewing fearful neutral facial expressions at baseline again 8 weeks later. The...
American youth are seriously impacted by depression and suicide. The Texas Youth Depression Suicide Research Network (TX-YDSRN) Participant Registry Study was initiated in 2020 to develop predictive models for treatment outcomes with and/or suicidality.

TX-YDSRN consists Hub (coordinating center), 12 medical school "Nodes" (manage/implement study), each 1–5 primary care, inpatient,...

This study evaluated both QIDS 17-item Children's Rating Scale - Revised (CDRS-R) an adolescent outpatient sample.Both QIDS-C₁₆ QIDS-SR₁₆ were completed for adolescents.
