A method for determining the appropriate medication for a patient
suffering from depression. A patient will take a questionnaire wherein
the patient answers a number of questions with scaled responses
concerning the degree to which the patient's mental state is affected by
at least one or both of impaired modulation and impaired activation.
Next, the patient's answers will be processed to arrive at scores for the
at least one impaired modulation and impaired activation. Depending upon
the patient's scores for demodulation and deactivation, at least one
medication which affects the at least one impaired modulation and
impaired activation is recommended.
