Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder, Major"

Obtain phenotypic data and a DNA/blood sample from mood disorder patients undergoing pioglitazone or quetiapine XR treatment as a part of an IRB approved clinical trial conducted at the Mood Disorders Program. Pioglitazone treatment is examined in metabolic syndrome comorbid with bipolar depression (IRB # 07-08-24) and unipolar depression (IRB # 07-07-20). Quetiapine XR treatment is examined in generalized anxiety disorder comorbid with bipolar depression (IRB # 10-06-19) and unipolar depression (IRB # 12-01-29). Please refer to the respective IRB protocols for more information.

The purpose of this study is to describe patient functioning and examine associations between depressive symptoms and measures of the various roles of functioning.

A retrospective study using a data base of anonymized medical records. The purpose of the study is to examine the different therapeutic strategies for the management of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and suboptimal response to antidepressant drugs in primary care

Observational, non-interventional, longitudinal, prospective,multicenter, open label (No treatment is involved). 3 assessment will be carried out . The 1st one will be on baseline, the 2sd one after a significant change in pharmacological treatment and 3rd one after a second significant change in pharmacological treatment. If there isn´t any significant change in therapeutic plan a control assessment will be carry out in week 10th and 24th. A significant treatment change is defined as a change in SSRI/SNRI, to add another SSRI/SNRI or a augmentation treatment added to SSRI/SNRI. The primary objective is to describe therapeutical strategies (antidepressant change, association with another antidepressant or association with another treatment) in the management of patients with MDD with incomplete response or intolerance to an antidepressant after a first or a second failure; and when the psychiatrist decide a change of strategy. Secondary objectives include: 1 - To describe the clinic profile of depressive patients with incomplete response or intolerance to an antidepressant after a first or a second failure; 2- To describe the profile of patients based on therapeutic strategies used and number of therapeutic strategies; 4- Evaluate the use of health resource due to lack of fast onset of action, and social cost (productivity, care givers…); 5 - To associate clinical variable with therapeutic action by psychiatrist.

The purpose of this neuroimaging study is to investigate the brain correlates of Major Depressive Disorder with anxiety symptoms as well as potentially identify predictors of treatment outcome.

Tools known as 'depression scales 'are widely used as assessments to evaluate a patient's response to treatment. The purpose of this study is the evaluation of the remission rates for patients with MDD. The evaluation will involve the use of HAM-D 17, and HAM-D 7 questionnaires and the comparison of those questionnaires.

The major objective of this observational study is to describe clinical outcomes of patients receiving treatment with the NeuroStar TMS Therapy system in routine clinical practice.

The purpose of this study is to investigate risk factors associated with depression and how such factors might be transmitted cross-generationally. The investigators are conducting an integrative assessment of emotion regulation and stress reactivity in a group of mothers with and without a history of depression and their daughters.

This is a retrospective chart review study to determine if Deplin® 7.5mg-15mg combined with an antidepressant is better than an antidepressant alone in adults with major depression.

In usual clinical conditions, depressed patients with no sexual dysfunction, after signing their consent for the dissemination of their clinical information will begin their treatment with any SSRI or a Dual antidepressant as per the best clinical decision of their treating psychiatrist. Sexual dysfunction will be identified along the 6 months of active observation. Psychiatrists will decide to change dose, augment, shift or combine antidepressants at their clinical discretion in the benefit of their patients and all clinical decisions will be recorded.Comparisons among antidepressants will be made in terms of their sexual dysfunction potentiality.
