About this study
Official title: Multi-dimensional Diagnosis,Individualized Therapy,and Management Technique for Major Depressive Disorder:Based on Clinical and Pathological Characteristics
Major Depressive Disorder is one of the most common mental diseases,which increases health-care costs and the financial burden to families and societies. Considering its complex clinical symptoms and diversity of comorbidity, depressive disorder's recognition,diagnosis,and antihistone are based on symptomatology,which is lack of multidimensional diagnosis technique based on clinical pathological characteristics,as well as lack of individualized therapy strategy based on quantified evaluation. Besides, other physical diseases,such as nervous system diseases, cardiovascular diseases,endocrine diseases, have the high comorbidity of depressive disorder. However,there is no precise diagnosis technique or standardized therapy strategy. With all those taken into consideration,our study is aimed to adopt E-mental health and m-Health to explore multi-dimensional diagnosis, individualized therapy and management technique based on molecular biology,nerve electrophysiology,and neuroimaging technology etc.
Read the detailed description
Four parts included in our study:

- to screen biomarkers, to explore its pathophysiology, and to analyze the correlation between clinical subtypes/characteristics and biomarkers.
- To differentiate the subtypes of depressive disorder(depression/underload, atypical, anxiety/somatization) based on clinical symptoms and clinical assessement.
- To establish personalized therapy strategies,and to explore tool kits for diagnosis and treatment based on biomarkers and clinical characteristics.
- to choose appropriate indicators to monitor therapy and side effect by collecting and analyzing blood/imaging/neuropsychological data.
Part 2: The development,transition and application of hierarchical model diagnostic technique for physical diseases combined with depressive disorder.
- to recruit patients with physical diseases combined with depressive disorder, and explore potential biomarkers.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FluoxetineDrug
Fluoxetine is one kind of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor(SSRIs), whose effect is much better than other non-underload subtypes compared with underload subtypes.So patients would be treated with fluoxetine only.
fluoxetine + cognitive-behavioral treatment(CBT)Combination product
the investigators would recommend fluoxetine to help to cure depressive disorder.And CBT is a very effective way for patients to alleviate or relieve clinical symptoms during episode stage.
fluoxetine + AmfebutamoneDrug
Amfebutamone is one kind of SNRIs, and it shows much better therapy effect on patients with exhaustion /dizziness.So the investigators recommend these two drugs to help to cure patients with depressive disorder.
physical treatment+fluoxetine+amfebutamoneCombination product
the investigators recommend drug(fluoxetine and amfebutamone) and physical treatment as intervention.
FluvoxamineDrug
Fluvoxamine could inhibit CYP1A2 and CYP2C19 and affect the metabolism of melatonin, and help to release symptoms of depressive disorder with sleep problems.
Lithium+fluvoxamineDrug
the investigators recommend lithium as a mood stabilizer and use fluvoxamine to affect the level of melatonin.
fluvoxamine + lithium + physical therapyCombination product
the investigators recommend depressants and mood stabilizers as well as physical therapy to help to cure depressive disorder.
Cognitive behavior treatment +fluvoxamineCombination product
the investigators recommend behavioral therapy as well as drugs.
Mirtazapine/SNRIsDrug
Mirtazapine is one kind of antagonist of a2 adrenergic receptors and could block 5-hydroxytryptamine2 and 5-hydroxytryptamine3,help to release symptoms like anxiety or somatization.Besides, SNRIs could also make similar effect on patients.Therefore, the investigators recommend mirtazapine/SNRIs to treat patients with depressive disorder.
mirtazapine+ Cognitive behavior treatmentCombination product
the investigators recommend CBT and mirtazapine as interventions.The dosage and frequency would depend on patients' severity of symptoms .
mirtazapine + SNRIsDrug
the investigator recommend mirtazapine and SNRIs to treat patients with major depressive disorder.
mirtazapine + SNRIs + physical therapyCombination product
the investigators would manage to use drugs and physical treatment to help to release the symptoms of depressive disorder.
TAU(treat as usual)Other
patients in this group would receive therapy strategies according to their symptoms and preference.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline in levels of microRNA,apolipoproteins, meta ion (Composite measure)
The potential biomarkers in our study include microRNA,apolipoproteins,metallic ion etc.We use quantitative analysis technique to test miRNA,proteins and metallic ion by patients' blood and urines before interventions and after interventions.
Measured: at 2,4,6,8,12 week.
Secondary outcomes (9)
Hamilton Depression Scale(HADA) scores,reductive ratio
HADA,created by Hamilton in 1960,is one of the most common questionnaires to evaluate the severity of depression and the efficiency of medicine. we adopt the Hamilton Depression Scale(HADA)to evaluate different medicines efficiency by analyzing reductive ratio.The investigators record the total scores of HADA at baseline and 2,4,6,8,12 week.
Measured: at 0,2,4,6,8,12 week.
Patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9):the clinical remission ratio
PHQ-9 is a self-report scale composed of 9 items to evaluate the state of depression.The investigators in our study record the total scores of PHQ-9 at 0,2,4,6,8,12 week to analyze the clinical remission ratio.
Measured: change from baseline PHQ-9 total scores at 2,4,6,8,12 week
life event scale(LES)
LES is one of the common questionnaires to evaluate individual's mental and stress stimulation in daily life.The investigators record the total scores of LES at baseline.
