Abstract
Despite the overall efficacy of antidepressant and antipsychotic combination therapy for the treatment of psychotic depression, data on the most appropriate choice of individual drugs for the combination treatment are limited. Researchers recently conducted a network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of various pharmacological treatment options for patients who had major depressive episodes with psychotic features (Oliva et al., 2024).
