Pharmacological
treatment history is based on Sackeim and colleagues
(1990).
Notes:
(1) M =
male, F = female in Gender column;
(2) R = right handed, L = left handed in Handedness
column; (3) Education level, coded into 5 categories, according to the Dutch
education system (Loozen & Post, 1991): 1 = did
not finish secondary school, 2 = finished secondary school, 3 = finished secondary
school, medium level, 4 = finished secondary school, highest level and/or
college degree, 5 = university degree; (4) Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
(HDRS) scores; (5) Values in serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), serotonin-noradernaline-reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), tricyclic
antidepressants (TCA), Lithium, MAO-Inhibitor (Trancylpromine)
and Anti-epileptics columns represent number of different medications
previously used in each category; (5) ECT = electroconvulsive therapy; SD = standard deviation.
