Study Background
Our researchers want to learn more about MDD.
Major Depressive Disorder is highly heterogeneous, meaning that it manifests in many different ways for different individuals. This makes effective treatment more difficult, since an intervention that works for one individual may not work for another. Our study aims to identify behavioral and neural markers for MDD that can be used as targets for future treatments.
Participation in this study may help deepen our current understanding of MDD and enable future development of more precise treatments. Further research and join our paid study today!
