Study Summary

The long-term goal of this line of research is to determine if decreased vascular reactivity and frontal hypoperfusion is associated with poor response antidepressants. Such perfusion deficits could contribute to antidepressant nonresponse as they would hinder improvements in dorsal system metabolism seen with antidepressant treatment. The objective of the current proposal is to determine if decreased vascular reactivity and frontal hypoperfusion in depressed elders predicts and persists with antidepressant nonremission. The investigators will pursue the primary aim testing the hypothesis that decreased reactivity and hypoperfusion, specifically in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, predict antidepressant nonremission. The investigators will enroll 40 depressed elders who will complete clinical, cognitive, and MRI assessments before and after a 12-week open-label antidepressant trial of sertraline.

Primary Outcome

Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a measure of depression severity. This will be used to define remission as a score of 7 or less.
