title: [Therapeutic monitoring of antidepressant drugs].
abstract: Depression is a pathology frequently observed in general medicine (10%). Treatment of depression makes great use of drugs from different pharmacological classes. The optimal posology is difficult to establish, and clinicians prefer to avoid side effects by prescribing low regimen. This study is related to an evaluation of seric antidepressant concentrations in comparison with the daily doses in a large psychiatric population. Side effects of drugs are appreciated by enzymatic determinations.
