Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder
Conditions
Brief summary
Evidence suggests that mGLUR5 availability may play a key role in the biology of mood disorders. This study aimed to investigate the changes in metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGLUR5) availability and clinical symptoms in patients with MDD and bipolar disorder(BD) after two months of vortioxetine treatment. The investigators hypothesized that patients with MDD and BP have abnormal mGluR5 availability in certain brain regions, and baseline mGLUR5 availability can predict prognosis the prognosis of MDD and BD. fMRI and NODDI are also used to evaluate the function or neurite condition at baseline and 8 week
Interventions
All MDD patients will receive 5mg of Vortioxetine per day at the start of this study, which will be gradually increased to 10mg per day within one week.
All patients with bipolar disorder will receive 50mg of Quetiapine at day 1, 100mg of Quetiapine at day 2, 200mg of Quetiapine at day 3, and 400mg of Quetiapine per day since day 4.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline concentration of mGLUR5 availability | Day 0 | BPND at baseline as measured by PET |
| Change in concentration of mGLUR5 availability from baseline to 8 weeks | Week 8 | BPND changes from baseline to 8 weeks |
| Change of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAMD-17) score from baseline to 8 weeks | Week 8 | Change of Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HAMD-17) score from baseline to 8 weeks, range: 0-51, higher score means more severe symptom of depression |
| Clinical outcome: Number of Participants with remitters and non-remitters | Week 8 | Remitters: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17)≤7, non-remitters: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17)≥8 |
| functional-connectivity | baseline and week8 | functional-connectivity from functional-MRI |
| neurite density | baseline and week8 | neurite density from Neurite Orientation Dispersion and Density Imaging (NODDI) |
