We aim to measure occupancy of the norepinephrine transporter in the brain by an antidepressant, duloxetine, by using positron emission tomography (PET) with [18F]FMeNER-D2 in healthy subjects and patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). PET scans will be performed twice before (at baseline) and after duloxetine treatment (for healthy subjects, single doses of duloxetine will be administered, and for patients with MDD, clinical doses of duloxetine will be administered for 4-8 weeks) on different days. We will also perform functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and psychological tests on the same day the PET scans are performed.

Male and Female
Healthy subjects:
Do not have any psychiatric disorders currently, nor have had similar disorders in the past
Able to understand an explanatory document and give consent
Patients:
Diagnosed as having MDD by using DSM-IV-TR and considered suitable for receiving duloxetine treatment
Only duloxetine is allowed as an antidepressant. The concomitant use of benzodiazepines as anxiolytic and hypnotic drugs is also allowed.
Healthy subjects:
Pregnant or possible to become pregnant
Currently breastfeeding
Have a cardiac pacemaker or other metals in the body, such as brain clip or bolt
Participating in other studies involving the use of nuclear medicine within the past 6 months, in terms of radiation safety
Other: judged inappropriate as a subject by the investigator
Patients:
Severe suicidal tendency
Presence of other comorbid psychiatric disorders
Have taken antidepressants and/or antipsychotic drugs within 1 month prior to the first examination
Have organic brain diseases
Have current severe physical diseases
Pregnant or possible to become pregnant
