Summary

This trial uses fMRI to study brain regions engaged in processing motivationally salient stimuli in children, adolescents, and adults with mood and anxiety disorders, in order to better understand how these disorders develop and how they can be treated.

Who is the study for?

It's not for those with serious medical conditions, pregnant women, or individuals currently on SSRIs or with certain psychiatric diagnoses like OCD or mania.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well Fluoxetine, an antidepressant medication, works alongside Attention Bias Modification Training to treat anxiety and depression in kids and adults. Participants will undergo fMRI scans before and after treatment to see if there are changes in brain activity related to mood improvement.
What are the potential side effects?
Fluoxetine can cause nausea, headaches, sleep disturbances, nervousness, sexual dysfunction among other side effects. The severity of these side effects varies from person to person.
