Title:
Depression Brain Imaging Study
|
| What is the purpose of the study? |
| |
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain differences in people with and without clinical depression. Therefore, we are recruiting both people who are diagnosed with major depression as well as control participants (i.e. do not have depression) who are NOT on medication. We will use MRI and PET scans in this study.
