Study Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy of sleep deprivation treatment in accelerating antidepressant responses when administered during the first week of medications and augmenting a sustained response with chronobiological interventions. Sleep deprivation and chronobiological augmentation may offer a rapid and sustained antidepressant response in mood disorder patients treated with medication, sleep deprivation, bright light therapy and sleep phase advance compared with medication only. The chronobiological treatment is rapid, non-invasive and has few side effects and could be of significant clinical benefit.

Primary Outcome

Difference in HRSD between the chronobiological augmentation therapy and medication only groups across the first 7 days, and up to 7 weeks of treatment. The 21-item HRSD has a range of 0 to 66, with a higher score indicating more severe depression.

Interventions

  • OTHER chronobiological augmentation
  • DRUG sertraline, lithium
  • RADIATION one night of sleep deprivation and two FDG PET scans
