摘要：

All episodes of depression require treatment after symptomatic response of the acute episode in order to consolidate response. If treatment is discontinued early, 30% to 50% of patients will suffer a relapse of the inadequately treated episode. Placebo-controlled studies with a variety of antidepressants, old and new, have provided compelling evidence of the efficacy of antidepressants on relapse prevention. A recent study of citalopram has also shown the need for long-term treatment with antidepressants in patients whose acute episode of depression appeared to respond to placebo since their response was not maintained.
