aThe patient met the criteria for joint measures for reliable improvement or recovery.

bAt the clinical end point, both General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scores were <10. For individual measures, recovery requires either the PHQ-9 or the GAD-7 score to be <10.

cAt the clinical end point, the patient showed improvement of at least 5 points on the PHQ-9 or 4 points on GAD-7, without a decline of 5 or 4 points on the other measure, respectively. Reliable improvement requires an improvement of at least 5 points for PHQ-9 measures and at least 4 points for GAD-7 measures.

dAt the clinical end point, both GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores were <5. For individual measures, remission requires either the PHQ-9 or the GAD-7 score to be <5.

eAt the clinical end point, the patient showed an increase of at least 5 points on the PHQ-9 or 4 points on GAD-7. Reliable deterioration requires an increase of at least 5 points for PHQ-9 measures and at least 4 points for GAD-7 measures.

fPHQ-9: Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Patients with PHQ-9 scores≥10 at baseline were included.

gAt the clinical end point, the patient achieved 50% or greater improvement from the baseline score.

hGAD-7: General Anxiety Disorder-7. Patients with GAD-7 scores≥10 at baseline were included.
