Filter by:In this study, the focus is on an individual's attachment security and its relation to treatment outcome in Major Depression.Adult attachment reflects how one seeks psychological and physical proximity to others for security and protection in times of stress. Researchers typically define four types of attachment security: one secure and three insecure (preoccupied, dismissing, and fearful). Adults with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) will be randomly assigned to either Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) or to Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). The expectation is that adults with avoidant attachment styles will respond better to CBT, and adults with preoccupied attachment styles will respond better to IPT. Also, in comparison to CBT, outcome in IPT is hypothesized to be more closely related to change in attachment.
Evaluation of the novel deep TMS H-Coil design as an augmentation measure in the treatment of medication resistant major depression. Stimulation is administered with and without cognitive-emotional provocation.
The purpose of this study is to find out what parts of the brain have increased or decreased activity with individuals who have bipolar disorder and how medicine changes this activity in bipolar subjects. Another purpose of this study is to compare data obtained from bipolar depressed subjects with data obtained from healthy subjects. In this study we will measure activity in different parts of the brain, while participants see pictures, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. We will do two MRI scans with each subject before and after treatment for eight weeks with a standard bipolar disorder medication called lithium.
To evaluate the effects of multiple oral doses of desvenlafaxine sustained release (DVS SR) and paroxetine on the biotransformation of codeine to morphine in healthy subjects. To assess the safety and tolerability of DVS SR and paroxetine when coadministered with codeine to healthy subjects.
To evaluate the long-term safety of desvenlafaxine sustained release (DVS-233SR) during open-label treatment of outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD).
This is a study about treatment for people who suffer from both major depression and alcohol abuse or dependence. The study will examine whether the addition of acamprosate to escitalopram and behavioral interventions will improve outcomes for this population.
SJW has the greatest evidence of herbal medicine efficacy in treating MDD. In treating anxiety, kava has the greatest evidence of efficacy. As comorbidity of MDD and anxiety commonly occurs, it is conceivable that a combination of an established antidepressant agent such as SJW and an established anxiolytic agent such as kava may effectively treat MDD presenting with comorbid anxiety. It is possible that a beneficial synergistic effect may also occur between SJW and kava, improving the treatment outcomes in MDD with comorbid anxiety, than by the individual substances alone. Determination of this is not addressed in this study due to limitations of time and resources. The determination of the strength of the SJW-kava combination will be ascertained by comparing similar trials using SJW and kava mono-therapy in addressing MDD and GAD. The hypothesis is that a combination of SJW and kava will reduce MDD occurring with comorbid anxiety more than placebo.
The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is to assess the safety and efficacy of PRX-00023 in patients with major depressive disorder.
To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of GSK372475 compared with placebo in the treatment of outpatient subjects with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
The investigators hypothesize that Rellidep will be effective in improving the symptoms of major depression. The available evidence strongly suggests that Rellidep contains a mood altering ingredient or ingredients. This open-label, non-randomized study sets out to validate its potential antidepressant activity.The study will include secondary aims of evaluating the effect of Rellidep on reducing symptoms of anxiety, a common symptom associated symptom of depression and improving quality of life. About twenty-five patients with major depressive disorder will be assigned to open-label Rellidep (2000 mg/day) for a period of 8 weeks. All patients will be assessed by various measures of global improvement, depression, quality of life, sexual experience, anxiety and measures of side effects as well as standard laboratory tests.
