In the original publication, the schedule of follow-up assessment was incorrect. The description in the study design and recruitment of the Method section has been changed as follows: Eligible patients with depressive disorders who agreed to participate in the MAKE BETTER study were approached for follow-up assessments at 1, 2, 3, 6 and 9 weeks; 3 months; and every 3 months thereafter up to 2 years to determine the short- and long-term treatment outcomes and clinical course of their depressive disorder. Accordingly, the Table 2 has been changed as follows. The authors sincerely regret these missing errors.
