Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study acronym	GENPOD
Study objectives	We wish to identify genetic and clinical predictors of response to SSRIs and NaRIs in depressive illness. Hypotheses: 1. Those who are homozygous for the insertion allele polymorphism in the promoter region of the 5HT transporter who are allocated SSRIs will have an improved response compared to those on NaRIs. This also implies that those who are not homozygous will have reduced response on SSRIs compared to those on NaRIs. 2. Those who have more severe depressive disorders who are allocated NaRIs and less severe disorder allocated SSRIs will have a better response compared to the other two groups

Key inclusion criteria	18-74 years with the more severe depressions in whom the GP and patient have already agreed that antidepressants should be prescribed. We will therefore only include those with a Clinical Interview Schedule - Revised (CIS-R) score of ≥20, a Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score of ≥15 and a diagnosis of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, tenth revision (ICD-10) depressive episode F32 and F33 (from CIS-R).
Key exclusion criteria	Pregnant and breast feeding women, patients with psychotic illness, alchohol or substance abuse problems, patients with medical contraindications to Citalopram or Reboxetine. (June 2006: Exclusion criteria were provided as follows: Potential subjects who have taken antidepressant medication within 2 weeks, who cannot complete self-administered scales, who have a psychosis or major substance or alcohol abuse. The GP will exclude anyone who has medical contraindications or in whom participation in the trial is not appropriate.)
