The investigators examine whether adding yoga-based therapy (YBT) to treatment as usual (TAU) for young adult women (age 18-34 years) with a primary diagnosis of MDD leads to (1) greater reductions in symptoms and (2) greater cost-effectiveness in that the economic benefits of adding YBT to TAU outweigh the costs.
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of different treatment locations using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat major depressive disorder.
The Researchers are going to gather information regarding the use of rTMS as a treatment for depression in adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder. The researchers also hope to learn if measures of brain activity (cortical excitability and inhibition) collected with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to identify which patients will benefit from certain types of rTMS treatment.
The objective of this study is to evaluate relative bioavailability between 80 mg LY03005 oral tablets and 50 mg Pristiq® oral tablets after a single dose of each drug in a cross-over 2-period design under fasting condition in healthy subjects between 18 and 50 years of age.
This trial attempts to evaluate the treatment efficacy of Simplified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (SCBT) and its safety among schizophrenia patients. Half of participants will be randomized to accept SCBT.
Since capability for suicide involves overriding potential pain, and the opioid system plays a strong role in controlling pain perception, it follows that capability for suicide may be impacted by the opioid system. The goal of the proposed research is to identify the neural network underlying capability for suicide in order to determine if it can be a target for identifying high-risk individuals and for intervention.
This project will assess the effectiveness of a stepped-care model (i.e. digital Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (dCBT-I) followed by face-to-face CBT-I) in improving severity of insomnia and sleep outcomes in an insomnia cohort. This project will also investigate the effectiveness of this stepped-care model in prevention of major depressive disorder, and will test rumination as a mediator of treatment response.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a subtype of Major Depressive Disorder, characterized by a recurrent temporal relationship between the season of year, the onset and the remission of a major depressive episode. Estimates of the annual prevalence state that 1-6% of the population will develop SAD with the larger prevalences found at greater extremes in latitude. SAD is most likely triggered by the shortening photoperiod experienced in the winter months leading to a deterioration of mood. Recent cross-sectional neuroimaging studies have found cellular and neurotransmitter changes in response to seasonality, ultimately having an impact on the affect of patients. Conversly, this study aims to investigate the changes in neurocircuitry related to depression and euthymic states. Patients with SAD offer a unique ability to study these changes since they have predictable triggers for the onset of depression (i.e. the winter months) and remission (i.e. the summer months).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of videogame-like digital therapies as adjunct therapy to antidepressant medications on cognitive deficits associated with major depressive disorder.
