Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

Four parts included in our study:

Part 1:The research, development and verification of indicators based on biomarkers and clinical characteristics to guide the diagnosis and treatment of depressive disorders

1. to screen biomarkers, to explore its pathophysiology, and to analyze the correlation between clinical subtypes/characteristics and biomarkers.

2. To differentiate the subtypes of depressive disorder(depression/underload, atypical, anxiety/somatization) based on clinical symptoms and clinical assessement.

3. To establish personalized therapy strategies,and to explore tool kits for diagnosis and treatment based on biomarkers and clinical characteristics.

4. 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.

1. to recruit patients with physical diseases combined with depressive disorder, and explore potential biomarkers.

2. To chose appropriate therapy strategies based on measurement based care(MBC), providing hierarchical model diagnostic technique for patients.

3. To weigh therapy efficiency and adverse effect among different medicine therapy groups.

Part3: The development and application of comprehensive prevention, diagnosis,and intervention model of depressive disorder.

1. To explore and establish online screening and assistant diagnosis system for patients with depressive disorder.

2. research ,development and application of intelligent e-MBC. Part 4: The development,transition and application of e-MBC sharing platform.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change from baseline in levels of microRNA,apolipoproteins, meta ion (Composite measure)at 2,4,6,8,12 week.

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
the gray matter volume,change from baseline neuroimaging data at 2,4,6,8,12 week

The investigators in our study use voxel-based morphometry (VBM8)to record the gray matter volume.

Neuroelectrophysiological examination: electroencephalogram(EEG)at baseline

EEG is used to record individual's brain activity. The investigators in our study record individual's brain wave.

life event scale(LES)at baseline

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.

dysfunctional attitudes scales(DAS)at baseline

The DAS is a self-report scale composed of 40 items to assess typical, stable depressogenic attitudes or schemas that make individuals vulnerable to depression. The investigators in our study record the total scores od DAS at baseline.

Hamilton Depression Scale(HADA) scores,reductive ratioat 0,2,4,6,8,12 week.

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.

Patient health questionnaire(PHQ-9):the clinical remission ratiochange from baseline PHQ-9 total scores at 2,4,6,8,12 week

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.

social support scale(SSS)at baseline

SSS is one of the common questionnaires to evaluate individual's social support and social relationship network to explore the correlation between social support and mental health. the investigators in our study record the total scores of SSS at baseline.

Neuroelectrophysiological examination:electrocardiograph(ECG)at baseline.

ECG is used to record the individual's cardiac cycle.

fractional amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuation(fLAFF)change from baseline neuroimaging data at 2,4,6,8,12 week

The investigators in our study use region-of-interest(ROI)to record fLAFF.
