Testing ways to predict unipolar depression using symptom patterns
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks for early warning signs—both mood symptoms and physical/behavior changes—that can help predict unipolar (non-manic) depression in people receiving outpatient care. It may help researchers develop better ways to recognize who is at risk and track symptoms over time.
