Summary
This study tests whether adding allopurinol, a medicine usually used for gout, can help people with major depression who haven't improved enough with standard antidepressants. About 70 adults with moderate to severe depression will receive either allopurinol or a placebo alongside their usual treatment. The main goal is to see if depression scores drop more with the added medication.
