BDI=Beck Depression Index, STAI=State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, OCI-R=Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory Revised. Age, BDI, and STAI are compared using t-test, and gender using chi-square test. Seven patients were using Escitalopram but the mean (SD) across six of them is reported here because the dose of this medication was not available for one of the patients.
