Report by the ACNP Task Force on Response and Remission in Major Depressive Disorder (2006, background): “One might consider identifying a provisional response when the response criterion is first met, then identifying a definite response when the response criterion is still met after an additional 2 weeks (Sackeim et al, 1987, 1993, 2000, 2001).”
