It is interesting to note that 33% of STAR*D participants failed to remit after 56 weeks of treatment while between 21% and 30% of participants were chronic sufferers. I have no factual basis for making this claim, but it might be that the non-remitters were precisely the chronic sufferers, whereas the remitters were the patients with episodic depression. If this were true, that would enforce the possibility that the observed remission was just regression to the mean, i.e. people eventually getting better on their own.
