MRI brain-scanning study of mood and anxiety in adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 65 years old
- Be able to read and sign consent forms
- For healthy control participation: have no major psychiatric diagnosis (and no first-degree relative with mood disorders)
- For depression participation: meet criteria for major depression based on a structured interview
- Be able to safely have an MRI scan (no certain implants or metal in the body)

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 scans (fMRI) to understand how people with both depression and anxiety respond to threat. If you have either or both conditions, participating could help researchers find better treatments.
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat anxiety that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can reduce anxiety symptoms.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression in children and teens. It involves sessions where a magnetic field is used to gently stimulate parts of the brain, and is designed for young people aged 6 to 18 who have been diagnosed with these conditions.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure natural brain chemicals. It helps researchers understand how the brain works in healthy people, which may inform future treatments.
