简要总结
The purpose of this study is to explore benefits of duloxetine in enhancing psychological resilience and to understand the relevance of inhibiting of both serotonin (5HT) and norepinephrine (NE)to therapeutic responses.
详细描述
This is an investigator-initiated, single-site study consisting of 8 weeks of open-label, fixed-dose treatment with duloxetine (30mg-60mg/day) in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) From Baseline to 8 Weeks
时间窗: baseline and 8 weeks
CD-RISC has been psychometrically validated, studied in the general population, as well as in clinical samples. Changes in CD-RISC score have been found to be sensitive to the effect of treatment, and impaired resilience has been demonstrated in subjects with depression relative to normal controls using this scale (Connor and Davidson, 2003). The total score ranges from 0-100, with higher scores indicating greater resilience.
