The present aim of the study is to to adapt an established, manualized enhanced Group CBT (CBT-E) for seniors to a telehealth format, which will allow us to offer the group virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of this study is to improve the treatment effect for outpatients with depression by adding regular daily morning daylight exposure to their treatment with antidepressants. Patients will wear a personal light tracker to keep them motivated. Our hypothesis is that patients daily exposed to morning daylight, as a supplement to standard treatment for depression, will achieve significantly higher antidepressant effect that patients receiving standard treatment alone. Furthermore, we hypothesize that they will experience improved well-being and sleep.
In the Investigator's ongoing studies of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in older adults, it has been found that older adults with PTSD frequently meet the criteria for comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Moreover, relative to trauma-exposed healthy controls (TEHCs), elders with PTSD manifest executive function deficits, fatigability, and mobility and physical function deficits that are consistent with what the investigator has observed in depressed older adults. Yet, the investigator has found that very few older adults with combined PTSD/MDD have received appropriate antidepressant treatment for their condition. These findings give rise to the questions of (1) how effective is antidepressant treatment for depressive symptoms in the context of PTSD/MDD and (2) are cognitive and physical function deficits in PTSD/MDD patients reversible with effective antidepressant treatment?
The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of daily and intermittent dosing of MK-1942 compared to placebo among participants with Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) on a stable course of antidepressant therapy. The dual primary hypotheses of the study are that the daily MK-1942 treatment and/or intermittent MK-1942 treatment are superior to placebo in reducing Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score.
In this new research study, 80 adults aged > 60 years with a significant depressive disorder and slowed processing and/or gait speed will be randomized to receive levodopa (L-DOPA; which the Candidate has previously shown to increase psychomotor speed and decrease depressive symptoms in older adults), aerobic exercise (itself an effective antidepressant treatment as monotherapy), or their combination in a 2x2 design incorporating placebo and a stretching/toning control. Participants will be evaluated before and after this 12-week duration study across cognitive domains, psychiatric symptoms, gait kinematics and mobility, and task-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) focused on effort-based decision making and reward processing. Data from this study will contribute toward the development of improved treatment and prevention strategies to maximize the functioning and active healthspan of older adults with neuropsychiatric disorders.
This multi-modal methods study will investigate neurophysiological, endocrinological, cognitive, psycho-social-emotional markers of disease, and targets for integrative health treatments in mood disorders.
To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single and multiple ascending doses of GATE-101 in normal human volunteers
This study will examine the effect of cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) treatment on adults with depression. Scalp based electroencephalogram (EEG) will be utilized to record the brain activity of participants whilst they perform computer based tasks. The aim is to understand if there would be changes in the neural signals following CES.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Seltorexant compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to an antidepressant in improving depressive symptoms in participants with major depressive disorder with insomnia symptoms (MDDIS) who have had an inadequate response to current antidepressant therapy with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI).
