우울증 치료에서 보다 더 우울한 항우울제가 있는가? = Are There Antidepressants with Superior Efficacy in Treatment of Depression?

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The efficacy of antidepressants has been demonstrated in various study including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and most of them assumed there was no difference in efficacy among antidepressants. Recently, several studies have suggested that some antidepressants such as clomipramine, venlafaxine, and escitalopram have superior efficacy over other antidepressants. In this debate, I discussed these studies and my opinion.
