Tracking mental health in children and teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study follows children and teens over time to learn how common mental health conditions like depression and anxiety begin. If you have some early signs or a family history, participating could help researchers understand and improve early detection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
