Abstract

An open six-week study of the efficacy of agomelatine was performed in 35 patients with single depressive episodes or recurrent depression (ICD-10 diagnoses) and clinically severe anxiety. Agomelatine was found to be highly effective and safe in the treatment of mild and moderate depression combined with anxiety disorders. Decreases in the severity of the symptoms of depression and sleep disorders were seen from treatment week 1, with reductions in anxiety from treatment week 2. By the end of the study, therapeutic effects were seen in 71.9% of patients and the remission criteria were achieved in 68.8% of patients.
