Measure
Intervention Cohort
Patients will undergo baseline psychological and laboratory tests then receive Quetiapine-XR(Seroquel-XR) with flexible dosing at the discretion of the treating physician based on clinical response and tolerability. The dose range will be from 50-300mg. The total duration of the treatment will be 12 weeks. Quetiapine-XR: Quetiapine-XR (Seroquel-XR) 50-300mg daily for 12 weeks.
Healthy Control
Participants without major depressive disorder or anxiety are enrolled as a comparison group without intervention. They will undergo baseline psychological and laboratory tests and will be followed for 12 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 weeks

Population: Due to the cost for the C-reactive protein assay, only 20 individuals from each cohort are analyzed (N = 40).

To compare C-Reactive Protein between the treatment and healthy control groups at 12 weeks post treatment.

n=20 Participants
Patients will undergo baseline psychological and laboratory tests then receive Quetiapine-XR(Seroquel-XR) with flexible dosing at the discretion of the treating physician based on clinical response and tolerability. The dose range will be from 50-300mg. The total duration of the treatment will be 12 weeks. Quetiapine-XR: Quetiapine-XR (Seroquel-XR) 50-300mg daily for 12 weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 12 weeks

Population: This analysis is restricted to the twenty-eight individuals from the intervention cohort who had valid HAM-D-7 responses at baseline and 12 weeks; the healthy control arm is not included here, because their HAM-D-7 scores were recorded at baseline only (see baseline characteristics).

The seven item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-7) is an objective assessment of depression administered by a trained rater. This version allows scores to range from 0 to 22, where higher scores indicate worsening mood.

The 14-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) is a subjective self-report assessment of stress. Each item is rated on a five point frequency scale ranging from 0 = never experiencing the stress symptom to 4 = Very often experiencing the stress symptom. Scores range from 0 to 56, where higher scores indicate higher stress.
