HAM D Test for Depression was probably given at beginning of test
to excludedepressed patients, but also as a safety guage if patients
began acting or feeling psychotic. It was a fallback for safety.
Somewhere the additional observances from Staff and Patients made Anavex
review the HAM D in a different more Effical(is that a word?) Light!

And oh what a light that is..unfortunately..I am not able to share with you
how bright this HAM D light shines as..
We have no starting points other than what you see from AAIC which shows a tremendous % Gap Down in score(33% or MORE) indicating some real healthy positives.

Howver, the data is pooled and I simply don't know how the scoring starts, so when Anavex says an 8 POINT improvement to Insomnia..8 Points from WHERE? Was the Original Insomnia score 30 Points or 50 Points or 20 Points? 29% of Patient Population improved..was that 29% of Patient Population that Marked having an Insomnia Isuue? Or 29% of Patients in Total? If int' 29% of those patients that HAD INSOMNIA Isuues that is great!..BUT if it's 100% of ALL INSOMNIATIC Patients noticed a Point or more improvemnt in their sypmptons that THAT IS A HOMERUN!
I Just Don't know..It would be nice if Anavex released more Raw Date on everything. The "Billion Dollar Gravy" just keeps getting richer and thicker!
If you have insights into the HAM D scoring ..please share..

RESULTS
Demographic characteristic are summarized in Table 2. The two groups did not differ in age, sex, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score at baseline, and apolipoprotein E e4 (ApoE4) status but were different in education. Presence or absence of insomnia was significantly associated with AD (odds ratio (OR) = 2.39, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03–5.55). Depression did not confound the association, as excluding patients with depression increased the relationship (OR = 3.32, 95% CI = 1.33–8.28). Normal-AD patients with insomnia showed a faster progression to dementia (chi-square = 3.94, P = .047).
