[Prefrontal Cortex Neurochemical Metabolite Levels in Major Depression and the Effects of Treatment: An HMRS Study].

CONCLUSION: Our results identified no neurodegeneration, cell membrane dysfunction, alterations in energy metabolism, or altered neurochemical metabolite levels in patients undergoing a first episode of mild/moderate depression. Further studies will be needed to evaluate the effects of alternate treatments and the presence or absence of neuronal damage during follow-up of patients with depression.
