Study Summary

The goal of the study is to obtain preliminary data that will test whether the antidepressant medication escitalopram resets the body clock: a collection of nerve cells in the brain that control the timing of many body processes. The study will also test whether the improvement in depression symptoms with escitalopram correlates with the degree to which the timing of the body clock is properly aligned with the timing of sleep.

Primary Outcome

The Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) is the time of the onset of melatonin secretion under dim light conditions using the equivalent thresholds of 10 pg/ml in plasma and 3 pg/ml in saliva. It is a marker of biological time. Data are provided in decimal and military time (e.g., 9:30 pm equals 21.50). This measure is used to determine if there was a change in the time of the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) before treatment with escitalopram (at Study Visit 3) and after treatment with escitalopra
