We applied the principal bibliometric indicators: Price's and Bradford's laws on the increase or dispersion of scientific literature, Lotka's law on the productivity of authors, the participation index (PaI) of countries, the productivity index (PI) of authors, and the collaboration index.

Our results show nonfulfilment of Price's law because production on SSRIs does not grow exponentially (r 1⁄4 0.937 vs. r 1⁄4 0.946, after linear adjustment). The journal most employed is the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry (Bradford's first zone). The United States is the most productive country (PaI 1⁄4 41.50). The documents were distributed in four groups: experimental pharmacology (8.38%), tolerance and safety (34.94%), clinical efficacy (49.11%), and not specifie
