Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) among Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) participants being treated in a psychiatry reference site (example, clinic, ambulatory, hospital, day-hospital) in 4 Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Mexico; and to evaluate all and depression-related healthcare resource utilization in TRD participants.

The main objective of this study is to show MRI functional and structural differences between depressed elderly patients with a history of attempted suicide compared to depressed elderly patients with no history of attempted suicide and to elderly subjects with no personal history of depression or attempted suicide (healthy controls).

This study focuses on blood inflammatory markers (pro-inflammatory cytokines, anti-inflammatory cytokines, monocytes costimulation molecules) in patients with resistant unipolar depression in comparison with non-resistant unipolar depressed patients.

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.

The purpose of the study is to describe the pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment utilization pathways in Italian routine clinical practice of participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and active suicidal ideation with intent.

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.

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent of all mental disorders, with an estimated annual prevalence of 9.7% and 18.1% respectively. It has been known for the last 100 years that depression and anxiety both likely affect vocal acoustic properties. In 1921, Emil Kraepelin, characterized depressed patient's voices as having a lower pitch, lower volume, lower rate of speech, more monotony of prosody as well as more hesitations, stuttering, and whispering. Mechanistically, it is possible that the neural circuitry involved in the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders impinge upon the neural circuit involved in speech production, affecting qualities that include rate, prosody, speech latency and other paralinguistic features. Thus, acoustic features of speech may be one of the more readily accessible biomarkers for these conditions. Given this understanding, the investigators sought to develop a passive vocal biomarker instrument for depression and anxiety screening that could markedly expand access as well as standardize the quality of screening in primary care settings.

This study series consists of four related studies and aims to explore and describe many important elements of alopecia areata over three key areas: (1) the current epidemiology of alopecia areata, (2) the prevalence and incidence of psychiatric co-morbidities in people with alopecia areata, (3) the prevalence and incidence of autoimmune and atopic conditions in people with alopecia areata, and (4) the incidence of common infections in people with alopecia areata.

This project will investigate how review of collateral information sources (CIS) may impact clinical decision-making across the lifespan.

Nursing home staff face multiple stresses during the Covid-19 pandemic including personal risk of infection, risk of transmission of the virus to residents and relatives, and risk of witnessing end-of-life scenarios under difficult contexts (absence of families). The hypothesis of this study is that the Covid-19 period is associated with an incidence of more than 30% of post-traumatic stress in nursing home staff.
