    Observational Study for MDD – Now Enrolling

    Dr. Neha Jain from UConn Health’s Department of Psychiatry is conducting an observational clinical research study for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

    The purpose of this study is to collect information on participants’ well-being and how depression treatments help over the course of their study participation. No study medication is used in this observational study. Participants will continue to take their current medications as prescribed by their provider(s).

    Eligible patients include:

    • Males and females between the ages of 18 to 74
    • Have a diagnosis of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
    • Have had an inadequate response to a current antidepressant treatment (SSRI or SNRI) and
    • Are starting or planning to start a new treatment (medication or non-medication treatment) for depression in addition to the current antidepressant treatment

    Additional eligibility criteria will be assessed by the study doctor or staff. Study participation will last about 12 months and study visits may be completed virtually/remotely.

    Qualified participants will receive compensation for study-required time and travel.
