- No difference in the imipramine equivalent doses was observed between the non-depression and depression groups. No difference in the mCBF values was observed between subjects taking and not taking antidepressants. However, focusing on only the patients who took antidepressants, the mCBF value in the depression group was significantly lower than that in the non-depression group.
