Depression and Antidepressant Adherence in Primary Care
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special electronic pill bottle that reminds you to take your antidepressant helps people stay on their medication. It is for adults with major depression who are starting a new antidepressant prescribed by their primary care doctor.
