Methods: First, we performed principal component analysis on cognitive scores from 768 individuals across the schizophrenia spectrum, including first-degree relatives of patients, individuals at ultra-high risk, who had a first-episode psychosis, and chronic schizophrenia patients, alongside 124 healthy controls.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on treatment-resistant depression (TRD) characterized by anergic-anhedonic symptoms, proposing a two-step therapy called the Dopaminergic Antidepressant Therapy Algorithm (DATA) combining monoamine oxidase inhibitors and dopamine D2 receptor agonists.
  • Out of 52 patients treated with DATA, 48 were analyzed, showing significant remission rates: 52% after the first step and 77% after the second, highlighting the effectiveness of this approach over a median follow-up of 4 months.
  • The findings suggest that TRD patients respond well to pro-dopaminergic treatments, but some variability in patient responses indicates a need for better understanding of dopamine-sensitive depression forms.
