Experimental Treatment and Brain Imaging Study for People Experiencing Depression
We are seeking people who have been treated for their depression but are still experiencing significant symptoms. If you have been treated with SSRIs or SNRIs for depression but still have symptoms, you may be eligible to participate in a research study examining the effectiveness of a new adjunctive depression treatment. The experimental treatment will be added to the patient’s current medications.
The study is at Stanford University Medical Center. Study medication is provided at no cost. The study also includes two brain scans.
Are you experiencing depression?
--Feeling down or blue for several weeks
--Not interested in your usual activities
--Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
