Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Determine the taste intensity at supra-threshold among a sample of depressed Egyptian adults (age from 20 to 50 years old) under anti-depressants therapy ( for at least 3 months) using filter paper disc(FPD) method using a psychophysical method through a scoring system.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PECO

* P Population: depressed Egyptian adults under anti-depressants therapy
* E1 Exposure 1: Tricyclic antidepressants (Imipramine, Amitriptyline, Clomipramine HCL)
* E2 Exposure 2: Selective Serotonin Re-uptake inhibitors antidepressants ( Fluoxetine, Fluvoxamine, Sertraline, Citalopram, Paroxetine)
* C control (non exposure) : non-pharmacological treatment ( psychotherapy)
* O Outcome: Determine the taste intensity at supra-threshold among these patients using a psychophysical method through a scoring system
