Abstract
This study endeavors to deepen our understanding of the subject matter by exploring, within a real-world sample, the impact of menopausal status on the antidepressant treatments response. The whole sample included a total of 447 patients, 156 male and 291 female, 110 pre-menopause and 181 post-menopause. In our sample post-menopause women showed a worse response to antidepressants than pre-menopause women (p = 0.006), and this difference seems to be unrelated to age or brain aging.
