  1. 12 July 2026 · corrected by Emir Baycan

    2 corrections applied: Clomipramine is a tricyclic, not an SSRI (article states this two sentences earlier); remove it and correct the count. | Names scrambled; the OCD/ERP researchers are Stanley Rachman and Isaac Marks.

    Before
    six SSRIs (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, paroxetine, clomipramine, escitalopram) have demonstrated efficacy... Paul Rachman, Stanley Marks, and colleagues replicated and systematized Meyer's approach
    After
    five SSRIs (fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, paroxetine, escitalopram) have demonstrated efficacy... Stanley Rachman, Isaac Marks, and colleagues replicated and systematized Meyer's approach

    Why: Removed clomipramine (a tricyclic, not an SSRI) from the SSRI count and corrected it to five; corrected the scrambled researcher names to Stanley Rachman and Isaac Marks. Verified fully applied in body; the separate 'Rachman and de Silva, 1978' citation appearing in body and FAQ is a distinct, legitimate reference and was not affected.
