Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided for treating depression, and particularly major depression,by administering an effective amount of an SSRI medication that is augmented by administering an effective amount of an amphetamine prodrug, such as lisdexamfetamine, to patients receiving an SSRI medication. In particular, the amphetamine prodrug is administered to augment the effects of an SSRI medication in patients who respond poorly to the effects of the SSRI medication. L'invention porte sur un procédé de traitement de la dépression, et en particulier de la dépression majeure, par administration d'une quantité efficace d'un médicament SSRI qui est augmenté par administration d'une quantité efficace d'un promédicament de type amphétamine, telle que la lisdexamfétamine, à des patients recevant un médicament SSRI. En particulier, le promédicament de type amphétamine est administré pour augmenter les effets d'un médicament SSRI chez des patients qui répondent médiocrement aux effets du médicament SSRI.
