Claim One:
1. A method of identifying subjects at risk for an adverse effect from treatment with a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, the method comprising: at a computer system comprising a processor, memory, and at least one program stored in the memory and executable by the processor: receiving a first set of physical values that are obtained by measuring one or more physical properties of a subject's brain activity at a first time, wherein the first time is before the subject begins treatment with the serotonin reuptake inhibitor; calculating a first resultant value of a function using the first set of physical values as input values, wherein the function is midline and right frontal cordance (MRFC); receiving a second set of physical values that are obtained by measuring one or more physical properties of a subject's brain activity at a second time, wherein the second time is after the subject begins treatment with the serotonin reuptake inhibitor; calculating a second resultant value of the function using the second set of physical values as input values; determining a change in the function from the first time to the second time by calculating a difference value between the first and second resultant values; and based on the difference value, determining whether the subject is at risk for a future adverse effect from treatment with the serotonin reuptake inhibitor, wherein the subject's brain activity is measured using an electroencephalograph.
