Magnesium supplement added to antidepressants for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding magnesium bisglycinate (a mineral supplement) to your current antidepressant medication can help improve depression symptoms. Researchers want to see if this combination works better than antidepressant alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old
