Brief Summary  
Impaired orexin activity can contribute to depressive behaviour. However, how orexin and BDNF levels and their gene variants affect sleep, cognition and metabolomic profile in major depressive disorder patients on antidepressant therapy has not been established.
The present study will give an insight into any change in the serum orexin levels and genetic polymorphisms in orexin gene at baseline and after a minimum of 6 weeks antidepressant therapy in patients with major depressive disorder. Also, how orexin and its gene variants variants affect sleep cycle, cognition and metabolomic profile and its correlation with BDNF in patients with major depressive disorder on antidepressant therapy will be depicted. The study delineates if the treatment outcome with antidepressants is altered in patients with different variants of orexin and BDNF genes.
