Table 3 R1 and the number of depressive episodes of Major Depressive Disorder. Median split was used to create two groups of MDD participants based on the number of prior depressive episodes. The more episodes group included individuals with 6 or more episodes (N = 17), and the fewer group 5 or less episodes (N = 22).
