Active clinical trials for "Depression"

The purpose of this study is to determine if having an alcohol use disorder affects recovery from depression, and also whether recovery from depression in patients who have alcohol use disorders is also accompanied by improvement in the alcohol use disorder.

The purpose of the study is to investigate pain, anxiety and depression in chronic pain patients with and without neuropathic pain compared with healthy volunteers

To understand how depression leads to congestive heart failure (CHF) in older adults.

Anxiety in children of parents with major depressive disorder (MDD) poses a particularly high risk for later-life MDD. In adults, MDD involves dysfunction in prefrontal brain regions that regulate attention to emotional stimuli. These abnormalities: i) have been found primarily in adults with specific familial forms of MDD; ii) persist after recovery from MDD, and iii) relate to anxiety. These findings raise the possibility that risk for MDD is tied to dysfunction in prefrontal regions involved in regulation of emotion, which possibly manifests as early-life anxiety. If this possibility were confirmed in never-depressed adolescents at high risk for MDD, the findings would provide key insights into the developmental neurobiology of MDD. The goal of this protocol is to study the neural substrate of risk for MDD in young people. This protocol tests the hypothesis that adolescents at high risk for MDD by virtue of childhood anxiety and parental history of MDD exhibit dysfunction in prefrontal cortex and amygdala, regions involved in emotion regulation. This goal will be accomplished through fMRI studies of emotion regulation in high and low-risk adolescents. For this research, at-risk adolescents will be recruited from participants in an NIMH-funded extramural study at New York University (NYU) examining the biology of risk for anxiety and depressive disorders. Over a three-year period, 45 high-risk probands and 60 low-risk comparisons will be studied, including 20 comparisons from the NYU sample and 40 from the Washington DC metropolitan area. In the present protocol, to be conducted at NIH, subjects will undergo volumetric MRI scans to assess structural abnormalities in the prefrontal cortex and medial temporal lobe. They will complete a series of four out-of-scanner cognitive tasks and two fMRI-based cognitive tasks that measure modulation of attention to emotional stimuli. The fMRI tasks are hypothesized to differentially engage the prefrontal cortex and amygdala in low vs. high risk subjects. These tasks will be used to test the hypothesis that at-risk individuals exhibit enhanced amygdala and reduced prefrontal activation on the fMRI emotion/attention tasks.

SARS-COV infection first has begun at Wuhan, China, and then became a pandemic. The first COVID-19 case has been reported on March 11, 2020, in Turkey. People older than 65 years old have been locked down on March 21 and people younger than 20 years old locked down at April 03. A total lockdown has been done a few times lasting for 3 or 4 days, especially at weekends. Renal replacement modalities have been affected in different ways during the pandemic. Patients with kidney transplantation and patients performing home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis have been advised to perform self-isolation at homes. However, center hemodialysis patients continued to come dialysis centers obligatorily. Syrian civil war has been continuing since 2011, and Turkey has accepted millions of Syrian people in a position called temporary protection. There are many Syrian center hemodialysis patients both in Turkey and in our unit. The investigators do not know if pandemic affected Syrian patients different than Turkish ones. The aim of this study is to compare beck depression scores of Turkish and Syrian patients undergoing hemodialysis during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purpose of this study is to explore the association between BDNF methylation and neurocognitive performance, perceived stress, and well-being in healthy women.

Postnatal depression is an important problematic in French population with approximatively 10 -20% of women who suffer from postnatal depression. This pathology may have strong negative impact on both women and neonate's health. The women's satisfaction degree in front of childbirth is an important factor associated with postnatal depression since women unsatisfied of their childbirth and/or women with a complicated childbirth are more encline to suffer from postnatal depression. It is likely that the actual context of Covid 19 pandemia and the change in obstetrical cares organization may have a negative impact on women's satisfaction about their childbirth and so a negative impact on the risk of postnatal depression.

Integration of mental health in HIV clinics is needed in order to accelerate fast track 90-90-90 for controlling HIV. Symptoms of depression are sometimes difficult to recognize. In people living with HIV (PLWHA), depression that fails to be recognized and uncontrolled increases the risk of unsuccessful antiretroviral treatment and mortality. The main purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion of depressive disorders in people living with HIV. The study included adult HIV patients aged ≥18 years, both men and women, who had received ARV treatment for at least six months, with no history of being diagnosed with depression.

Prevalence of depression shows great heterogeneity in patients with psoriasis. This could be explained by the psychometric properties of the questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms: these tests have not been developed in a context of dermatosis. The complaints and symptoms associated with psoriasis can be misidentified by questionnaires as a manifestation of depressive symptomatology and may overestimate depressive symptoms. In other diseases such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis, tools have been validated specifically to take into account these symptoms. The purpose of this study is to validate and compare assessment tools for depression in patients with psoriasis.

Patients who suffer from MDD recieved ketamnie (2014-15) in open study will be addressed and there depression mood will be evaluated using the rating scale that were used in the original research. In addition time of relapse and questions about their medications and drug use will be performed.
