All of the studies in our department offer participants a comprehensive psychological and psychiatric evaluation. Many of our studies involve state-of-the-art brain imaging to better understand how the brain is affected by depression, and how it changes with effective treatment. Most of our studies offer up to six months of outpatient treatment at no cost to you, and inpatient treatment is available as well. In addition, most of the studies offer financial compensation for your time and participation. Our team is made up of psychiatrists, psychologists, and research personnel with years of experience in treating depression.
