What this Trial Is About

This study aims to better understand the mechanisms of action of antidepressants, but also the neural correlates of motivation deficits. One hundred patients with a moderate to severe major depressive episode will be enrolled in this prospective multicenter study. The objective will be to predict the therapeutic response to two first-line antidepressants on the basis of an early neurocomputational assessment of motivation. Antidepressant treatment will be administered as monotherapy after randomization between two drugs: escitalopram and vortioxetine. Patients will undergo six visits and follow-up for one year. The investigators will combine computer modeling and functional MRI to identify motivational deficits and elucidate their brain correlates before initiation, after 7 days and after 6 months of treatment. 36 healthy volunteers will also be included to allow comparison with patients with depression. They will not receive any treatment.
