Detailed Description:

Depression is a common mental disorder that presents with depressed mood, loss of interest or pleasure, disturbed sleep or appetite, low energy, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, and poor concentration. Depression may become chronic or recurrent and lead to substantial impairments in an individual's ability to take care of his or her everyday responsibilities. The need for the treatment of the depressive episode beyond the acute period of treatment has been well documented and the duration of treatment is usually set at about 6 months. The adverse event profile plays a large role in the choice of antidepressant therapy and safety aspects of a drug in relation to the duration of treatment have to be addressed.
