Definition
Remission from depression is essentially the complete elimination of all symptoms for at least 6–12 months. In clinical trials, it may be defined according to the achievement of a particular score on a depression rating scale (e.g., a score of 7 or less on the Hamilton Depression (HAM-D) Rating Scale).
