First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how well and safely the antidepressant escitalopram works in people experiencing their first episode of major depression who have never taken medication for it. Two hundred adults aged 18 to 65 will take escitalopram for 8 weeks, and researchers will track their symptoms, thinking abilities, and side effects. The goal is to find out who benefits most and understand the biological reasons behind the drug's effects, paving the way for more personalized depression care.
