Core Tip Adolescent major depressive disorder is a global concern with limited treatment efficacy. This study used arterial spin labeling magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate cerebral blood flow changes during sertraline treatment and to examine whether baseline perfusion was associated with subsequent response. Thirty-three adolescents with adolescent major depressive disorder were assessed before and after eight weeks of treatment. A significant reduction in depressive symptoms was observed over eight weeks, and responders showed higher baseline cerebral blood flow in the right insula. These exploratory findings suggest that insular perfusion may index treatment-relevant states, but do not establish causality or predictive utility; confirmation in randomized, placebo or psychotherapy-controlled trials is required before informing clinical decision-making.
