About Depression
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a medical condition that can cause
emotional, physical, behavioral and cognitive symptoms.
It is estimated that depression affects one in every fifteen adults yearly, and one in every six
people will experience depression at one point in their lives. Depression can happen to anyone at
any time, but usually tends to affect those in their late teens to mid-twenties.
Because depression can cause a variety of symptoms for different people, it is important to be aware
of the signs and signals:
- Feeling sad
- Feeling worthless or guilty
- Changes in sleep pattern
- Changes in appetite (weight loss
or gain unrelated to dieting)
- Loss of interest or pleasure in
activities once enjoyed
If you or someone you know may be showing symptoms of depression, seek out professional medical
advice for a proper diagnosis
The Depression Study is researching a new investigational medication for those with depression.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical research
study? 
A Clinical Research Study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study
that helps answer important questions about an investigational drug or
device, such as: does it work, or how effective is it compared to another
drug/device?
All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can
be approved by regulatory authorities for doctors to prescribe to patients.
Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new
treatments. The volunteers who participate in clinical research studies play
a major role in helping to advance medicine.

Depression Study?
The Depression Study will include various visits to a study clinic in your
area and follow up phone calls at designated times.
All study-related care is provided at no cost to you. You do not need health
