It is a tough study to refute without having another research team investigate the same issue. What would be interesting is to examine chronically depressed patients who have never taken an antidepressant prior to entry into the study.
I wonder how the decreased volume of white matter seen in these patients actually affects psychometric testing results; before and after.
