Brain scanning study for depression and anxiety
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have either a current major depressive episode, a current anxiety disorder (like panic attacks, general worry, or social anxiety), or both
- You are not taking benzodiazepines or opioids, and any other psychiatric medication you take has been stable for at least 6 weeks
- You are not currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study
- You do not have certain other conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, an eating disorder, or PTSD
- You can have an MRI scan (no metal implants or claustrophobia that would prevent it)

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 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 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 study uses brain scans (MRI) to understand how people with depression process rewards, aiming to identify different depression subtypes. You may join if you have depression or if you are a healthy volunteer.
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 uses brain scans to understand why people with anxiety avoid certain situations. It tests a computer-based task that may help measure avoidance and could lead to better treatments.
