Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.

​

Symptoms occur most of the day, nearly every day and may include:

  • Feelings of sadness, emptiness or hopelessness

  • Angry outbursts, irritability or frustration

  • Loss of interest or pleasure in normal activities

  • Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or sleeping too much

  • Tiredness and lack of energy

  • Anxiety, agitation or restlessness

​

If you have been diagnosed with depression or experience the symptoms of it, you may be eligible to participate in research study. Compensation for time and travel may be available.
