About this study

Official title: Genetic Markers and Predictors of Antidepressant-induced Suicidality in Youth Depression

The objective of this study is to identification of genetic markers and predictors of antidepressant-induced suicidality in youth depression. Participants who take the standardized pharmacotherapy (bupropion or lamotrigine) for depression will be observed for 8 weeks. They will do several scales and genetic tests at visit 1 (week 0), visit 3 (week 4) and visit 4 (week 8)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of Suicidal ideation and behavior

    Using Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale(C-SSRS)

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Evaluation of treatment effect of antidepressants(CDRS)

    A composite measure consisting of Children's Depression Rating scale(CDRS). Modeled after the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, the CDRS is a clinical interview tool designed for assessing 6-12 year-olds, and it has also been used successfully for adolescents.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  2. Evaluation of treatment effect of antidepressants (YMRS)

    A composite measure consisting of Young Mania Rating Scale(YMRS). The YMRS is an 11-item scale used to assess the severity of mania in children and adolescents ages 5-17.The YMRS has been used in clinical practice since 1978. Ratings are based on child/adolescent self-reporting and clinician observation. This instrument does not assess depressed mood.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  3. Evaluation of treatment effect of antidepressants(P-GBI)

    The P-GBI is adapted from the General Behavior Inventory, and allows parents to rate depressive, hypomanic, manic, and alternating mood symptoms in their children and adolescents ages 5-17.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  4. Evaluation of treatment effect of antidepressants(CGI-S)

    The Clinical Global Impression rating scales(CGI-S) are commonly used measures of symptom severity, treatment response and the efficacy of treatments in treatment studies of patients with mental disorders.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Genome wide association analysis

    KNIH Biobank Array

    Measured: 8 weeks
