Summary
This study aimed to find brain and movement markers in people with a type of depression that doesn't respond to standard antidepressants, called anhedonic depression. Researchers measured brain waves (P300), walking speed, and hand movements in 36 participants. The goal was to identify a specific pattern that could help doctors choose more effective treatments earlier.
