Clinaptica™ Depression Consultant
Introducing the first app that matches patients to antidepressants:
* It was developed by Richard J. Metzner, M.D., a nationally recognized Los Angeles psychiatrist and psychopharmacologist with over 40 years of experience treating depression.
* It utilizes a patented method to help individualize antidepressant treatment: the Targeted Treatment Depression Inventory (TTDI)®.
* Thousands of people across the USA have been treated according to the TTDI method. It is also being used in seventeen other countries on six continents.
* It presents 17 questions to patients and then computes scores, which can help prescribers offer the most effective treatment.
* Recommendations are accompanied by color-coded graphic results, which can be saved as images, printed and/or e-mailed to health professionals. Repeat testing provides clear visual evidence of improvement or the need for modifying treatment.
