This study uses brain scans and short real-life mood/stress check-ins to understand how stress and perceived control work in teens with depression. It may help researchers better pinpoint brain patterns linked to depression and how teens experience control during stressful moments.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
This study looks at how early life stress may be linked to depression, using brain scans. You’ll be asked about your history and asked to do brain imaging to help researchers understand these brain and mood changes.
This trial studies how fluoxetine or escitalopram (anti-depression medicines) may affect brain systems involved in feeling threatened and staying anxious when you have depression. It also uses brain scanning and blood tests to measure these changes.
This study looks at how social media affects the brains of teens with depression. You would complete smartphone surveys and have one brain scan (MRI) to help researchers understand these connections.
