Changes in cognitive distortions and affectivity levels in adolescent depression after acute phase fluoxetine treatment.

CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with fluoxetine over 8 weeks led to reductions in cognitive distortions, with decreased negative and increased positive affect in adolescents with MDD. Improvements in affectivity levels closely corresponded to reductions in depressive symptoms and were greater than improvements in cognitive distortions.
