Program for persistent low-grade depression and treatment changes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial looks at how treatment for persistent depressive disorder (long-lasting low mood) affects real-world costs and the process of changing treatments. It may help people who have tried some treatments before and need a practical plan moving forward.
