Hi Med,
>There's a difference, apparently, between the "negative symptoms" of chronic psychotic disorders (schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia) and "depression."
I know but I was still interested in whether anyone had tried clozapine to treat TR-depression with prominent 'negative symptoms'.
Since there are quite a few depressed people on this board (not me) who have tried virtually every psych drug in existence, I wondered whether clozapine might be helpful!
I've known a few people who've taken clozapine for indications other than schizophrenia, mainly bipolar disoder. I once met someone who was on a trial of clozapine for borderline personality disorder.
Ed.
