Diagnosed with depression? Your mental health matters.
If you’ve been feeling stuck and longing for relief, you may be eligible to receive dedicated medical attention, an investigational therapeutic and compensation for your involvement in an innovative research study.
We're conducting clinical research in depression to learn how individuals’ brain biology impacts response to treatment, with the goal to help people find relief faster. You do not need to already have a diagnosis to participate.
If you’re currently taking medication, you are likely still eligible for our studies and don’t have to stop your existing treatment regimen.
For more information about this trial and to see if you qualify, please contact Kristine at kristinepike@uabmc.edu or 205-975-8542.
