Brief Summary:
The aim of the proposed three-site study is to increase the rate of full remission from major depressive disorder (MDD) at the end of 16 weeks of treatment for people who experience both major depressive disorder and insomnia.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Sleep Initiation and Maintenance Disorders Depression Drug: Antidepressant Behavioral: Desensitization Therapy for Insomnia Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Participants with major depressive disorder and insomnia who meet all study criteria will receive state-of-the-art antidepressant medications and one of two insomnia therapies. The specific therapy for insomnia will be determined by chance (like a flip of a coin), with an equal chance to receive either cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia or desensitization psychotherapy for insomnia. The study physician will select an initial antidepressant medication from a list of three possible medications . If that medication is not helpful, another medication may be tried after 8 weeks or in the event of severe side effects.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent of Participants With Depression Remission [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]

    Depression remission was defined if both a and b below are satisfied

    1. absence of both depressed mood and anhedonia for at least three consecutive weeks
    2. no more than two other diagnostic criterion symptoms of depression met for at least three consecutive weeks


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants in Insomnia Remission [ Time Frame: 16 weeks ]
    Remission was defined as endpoint ISI<8. The ISI scale score ranges from 0 to 28 with lower scores representing less severe insomnia. A score of 0-7 is interpreted as absence of insomnia.
