First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding pizotifen to the antidepressant escitalopram works better than escitalopram alone for people with major depression. 88 newly diagnosed patients aged 14-70 took part. Researchers measured symptom improvement using a standard questionnaire (PHQ-9). The goal was to see if the combination reduces depression more effectively.
