Más betegség

• Clinically significant psychiatric disease other than depression.
• History of significant alcohol or substance abuse/dependence within the past 5 years.
• Serious comorbidities (malignant and nonmalignant disease or other conditions) that in the opinion of the investigator could compromise study objectives.

• Active systemic autoimmune diseases.
• Self-reported history of dysphoria or anxiety in closed spaces (i.e., uncontrolled claustrophobia).

Laborértékek

Egyéb

• Structural brain abnormalities on MRI (e.g. large infarct or mass) likely to interfere with interpretation of a PET scan.
• Body weight is more than 240 kg (529 pounds)
