Brief Summary:
Study hypothesis: psychotherapy and SSRI treatment effect in different brain way: psychotherapy in "up to down" way and SSRI in "down to up" way. The investigators will explore this hypothesis in major depressive disorder outpatients with Magnetic Resonance Imaging analysis in this study. Patients in different groups will be treated by psychotherapy or SSRI treatment. They will all be checked with Magnetic Resonance Imaging pro and after 12 weeks of treatment.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Major Depressive Disorder Drug: SSRI antidepressants Behavioral: Cognitive-Behavior Therapy Phase 4

Detailed Description:
Patients meeting the inclusion criteria undergo an examination that included a diagnostic interview, vision test, and psychophysiological measures. Participants then undergo the baseline fMRI scan within 48 hours, after that, they will receive psychotherapy or SSRI treatment.and returned the scan once they completed the therapy.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Cognitive-Behavior Therapy group
treatment with Cognitive-Behavior Therapy
 Behavioral: Cognitive-Behavior Therapy
The essence of CBT is a learning process through which an appropriate pattern in cognitive and behavioral could be learn and stored as memory
Other Name: cognitive behavioural therapy（CBT）
Active Comparator: SSRI antidepressants
treatment by SSRI antidepressant
 Drug: SSRI antidepressants
SSRI antidepressants are Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. They include fluoxetine (Prozac); sertraline (Zoloft); paroxetine (Paxil); citalopram (Celexa) ;escitalopram (Lexapro) and fluvoxamine (Luvox). It will be chosen according to special condition of every patient.
Other Names:
  • fluoxetine (Prozac)
  • sertraline (Zoloft)
  • paroxetine (Paxil)
  • citalopram (Celexa)
  • escitalopram (Lexapro)
  • fluvoxamine (Luvox)


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) [ Time Frame: an expected average of 6 months ]
    The 24-item version of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD; Hamilton, 1960) will be used for measuring severity of depressive symptoms. Minimum and maximum possible values are respectively 0 and 78. Lower scores show more mild depression.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging [ Time Frame: an expected average of 6 months ]
