Abstract

A putative right anterior insula metabolism biomarker predictive of treatment outcomes was retrospectively applied to 30 depressed psychotherapy—or escitalopram-treated nonremitters who entered combination treatment. Patients whose added treatment matched the biomarker-indicated treatment remitted more often than biomarker-mismatched patients.
