Inflammatory Markers and Resistant Depression
DepressionThis 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.
Brain-Based Biomarkers in Response to TMS in MDD
Major Depressive DisorderDepressionThe overarching goal of this research program is to elucidate causal and directional neural network- level abnormalities in depression, and how they are modulated by an individually-tailored, circuit-directed intervention. By using concurrent TMS and EEG, the investigators can overcome a major limitation of EEG - the inability to demonstrate causality. Here, we plan to recruit patients with medication-resistant depression undergoing rTMS treatment. At multiple time points, we will perform TMS-EEG to investigate the excitability and connectivity profiles of brain networks and how they are modulated during treatment. This study aims to provide objective brain network measures that can predict and track clinical response to TMS treatment. Findings from this study will be utilized to develop a novel, personalized treatment protocol based on individual brain networks.
Bipolar Proteomic Assay Validation Study
Major Depressive DisorderBipolar I and Bipolar IIThe purpose of this study is to validate a set of signatures, based on a panel of proteomic markers, that discriminate BDI, BDII, and MDD in people seeking treatment for a depressive episode.
The Effect of Occupational Therapy on Anxiety, Depression, and Psychological Well-Being Symptoms...
The Effect of Occupational Therapy on AnxietyDepression1 moreParticipants were assigned to intervention and control groups according to the randomization list previously prepared by the researchers. All participants were first informed about the study and their informed consent was obtained. Participant Information Form, Geriatric Anxiety Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Geriatric Depression Scale were filled out by all participants. The elderly in the intervention group were divided into 5 groups of 10 and a time was determined for the session in cooperation with the participants in each subgroup. A 60-minute therapy session was administered by the occupational expert. The applications were carried out in a total of 7 sessions as a daily session. The control group was not subjected to any application. Geriatric Anxiety Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Geriatric Depression Scale were refilled for the second time in all elderly on the 7th day after the application.

Epidemiology of Treatment Resistant Depression in Taiwan
Depressive DisorderTreatment-ResistantThe purpose of this study is to assess the epidemiology of Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) in the nationally insured population in Taiwan including incidence, duration of clinical episodes, and prevalence by age and sex.
Evaluation of Pharmacogenetic Testing In a Mental Health Population and Economic Outcomes
Major Depressive Disorder 1This is a non-randomized, single-case design of pharmacogenetic implementation in a mental health patient population of subjects taking antipsychotics and/or antidepressants.
PRimary Prevention Of Depression in Offspring of Depressed Parents
DepressionThe purpose of this randomised controlled trial is to see whether a group-based psychological intervention for families can reduce the inflated risk of depression in children and adolescents who have at least one parent who suffers from depression (or who has suffered from depressed in the child's lifetime).
