PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at Baseline (pre-treatment) and Week 8 (post-treatment)

Population: Major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or past suicide attempt.

% change in COPE = (Post-treatment COPE - Pre-treatment COPE) / Pre-treatment COPE COPE is measured during Monetary Incentive Delay Task. Task conditions are: Reward= BOLD signal when subject wins 5 cents vs. wins 0 cents Punishment= BOLD signal when subject loses 5cents vs. loses 0 cents
