Summary: Study of the Efficacy of Using rEEG-Guided Treatment Compared to Generally Accepted Treatment in Subjects with Treatment Resistant Depression

This study is to evaluate the effectiveness of using rEEG technology to determine the most effective medication-based treatment for subjects with treatment-resistant depression in comparison to using generally accepted methods for selecting treatment. This is a 10-week study. Subjects will have a QEEG recorded and forwarded to the sponsor, who will analyze it utilizing their rEEG technology. Qualified subjects will be assigned by chance to either the experimental (rEEG guided) group, or the control group utilizing a more conventional approach to selecting a treatment. All medications to be selected will be FDA-approved.
