Summary
This study aims to increase the knowledge about psychological processes which may contribute to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety. This study aims to investigate if administering Escitalopram, an antidepressant which increases serotonin levels in parts of the brain, affects how the brain processes emotional information. It is hoped that measuring these changes will increase the understanding of processes involved in mental health problems.
