Summary

This study aimed to see if a simple brain-wave test could predict which veterans with PTSD or depression would improve with SSRI antidepressants. Researchers planned to enroll 94 participants, but the study was stopped early after only 26 people joined. The goal was to help doctors choose the right medication faster, but results are limited due to early termination.
