Depression is a lot more common than you may think; an estimated 21 million adults in
the United States have had at least one major depressive episode.1 MDD is a disease that
causes depression, more than just being sad, for most of the day, and lasts for at least two weeks
or more.
Primary symptoms of MDD are depressed mood or loss of interest or pleasure; while secondary symptoms
of MDD include appetite or weight changes, sleep difficulties, fatigue or loss of energy, and
feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt.2
There are multiple factors believed to cause MDD, including genetic, environmental, and social
factors.3 MDD can be managed with various treatment measures, including therapy,
medication, and lifestyle modifications.4
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.
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
insurance to participate.
Volunteers who take part in the study may receive compensation for their
time and travel.
Participation is entirely voluntary. Even if you decide to take part in this
study, you can change your mind about participating at any time.
