Study Summary

The investigators are doing this study to find out if they can use electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings, which measure brain waves, to predict response to antidepressant treatments, as well as to distinguish patients who have depression from those who do not. In particular the investigators want to test the usefulness of a new type of analysis of EEG recordings called brain network activation or BNA. BNA allows to identify patterns of activation in brain networks and to track their changes over time.

Primary Outcome

The investogators will make a comparison of Functional networks of brain activity (BNA™) in subjects with MDD and healthy individuals measured using analysis of EEG Event Related Potential (ERP) data \[ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 week after the first dose of antidepressant treatment, end of the treatment phase\].
