Predicting depression course with physical and psychological markers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at physical and psychological signs that might help predict how depression develops over time. It's a naturalistic study, meaning researchers observe what happens in usual outpatient care without changing it, to see if certain markers can forecast the course of depression.
