Mechanisms of Rumination Change in Adolescent Depression
Recruiting
This study will evaluate whether a newer treatment, rumination-focused cognitive behavioral treatment, which includes mindfulness and can be used to reduce ruminative habits, change ways in which key brain regions interact with each other (e.g.., often called connectivity), and whether these changes in habits and brain connectivity can reduce the risk for recurrence of depression in the next two years.

Using MHealth to Improve Adherence and Reduce Blood Pressure in Individuals with Hypertension and Mood Disorders
Recruiting
This proposed 2-stage randomized controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate a personalized patient-centered adherence intervention iTAB-CV + Self-Monitoring (iTAB-CV + SM) vs. Self-Monitoring (SM) alone in poorly adherent hypertensive persons with BD or MDD. This practical, technology-facilitated intervention has potential to improve adherence to antihypertensive medication and reduce SBP among high-risk individuals. The intervention is suitable for primary care or mental health settings and has poten... Read More

Natural History of Depression, Bipolar Disorder and Suicide Risk
Recruiting
Mood disorders, such as depression and bipolar disorder, are difficult to treat. One reason is that there are no objective ways to measure how these disorders affect the body and respond to different treatments. In this study, researchers want to perform tests on people undergoing clinical care for mood disorders. The purpose is to understand the experience of receiving treatment for depression, bipolar disorder, and suicide risk. We also hope that this study will help us to predict which medica... Read More

Causal Role of Delta-beta Coupling for Goal-directed Behavior in Anhedonic Depression
Recruiting
Anhedonia, the inability to seek-out and experience pleasure, is a common symptom in depression that predicts treatment-resistance and is sometimes exacerbated by first-line antidepressants. In our previous research, we found that anhedonia decreases goal-directed behavior and its related neural activity. In this study, we will investigate target engagement from five-consecutive days of stimulation for participants that are within a unipolar major depressive episode and also have high symptoms o...

Concurrent fMRI-guided rTMS and Cognitive Therapy for the Treatment of Major Depressive Episodes
Recruiting
Background:
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a treatment for depression. It stimulates the brain. Researchers want to see if using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans helps locate the best area for rTMS in each person. They also want to find other ways to make it more effective.
Objective:
To study the effects of combining MRI- guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and talk therapy on the brain in people with depression.
Eligibility:
Adults ages 18-75 with... Read More

Transcranial Electric Stimulation Therapy (TEST) for Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD)
Recruiting
Background:
People with TRD are often helped by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). But ECT can affect memory and thinking. Researchers want to study a treatment called TEST that uses less electricity.
Objective:
To study the safety and feasibility of TEST and assess its antidepressant effects.
Eligibility:
Adults aged 25-64 with major depression that has not been relieved by current treatments.

Defining Neurobiological Links Between Substance Use and Mental Illness
Recruiting
Background:
Nicotine dependence leads to about 480,000 deaths every year in the United States. People with major depressive disorder (MDD) are twice as likely to use nicotine compared to the general population. They have greater withdrawal symptoms and are more likely to relapse after quitting compared with smokers without MDD. More research is needed on how nicotine affects brain function in those with MDD.
Objective:
To understand how nicotine affects symptoms of depression and related brai... Read More
