Understanding Mood and Anxiety Disorders Study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This research study evaluates people with mood disorders (like depression or bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders, or people without these conditions to better understand how these conditions develop and affect the brain. Researchers will ask questions and may do other assessments to learn more.

This study follows people with mood disorders over a long time to better understand how symptoms and functioning change. You may be able to join if you already agreed to take part in an earlier mood/anxiety study and you meet basic participation needs.
This study watches how a person’s mood and movement change over time, and how those patterns relate to bipolar disorder. It may help researchers better understand the condition in families and potentially improve future care.
This study looks at how the brain works in children and adults with anxiety disorders. It uses brain scans (fMRI) and other safe tests to understand anxiety better.
This study uses brain MRI scans and mental tasks to better understand mood and anxiety problems. It may help researchers develop improved MRI methods for studying depression and healthy brain function.
This study looks at “biopsychosocial markers” (biological, psychological, and social signs) in people with major depression and/or anxiety. It aims to understand what changes with treatment and how those changes connect to symptoms like anxiety and depression.
This trial creates a flexible platform to test new treatments for mood disorders like bipolar disorder and depression. It also includes healthy volunteers as a comparison group.
