Neurocognition and Work Productivity in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Major Depressive DisorderThis study will investigate the relationships between subjective cognitive complaints, neurocognitive deficits, and work productivity in participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), before and after 8 weeks of treatment with an antidepressant medication. Our hypothesis is that, in working participants with MDD of at least moderate severity, neurocognitive deficits will predict poorer work functioning and productivity.

A 6-Month Open-Label Extension Study to the B2061014 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability...
Major Depressive DisorderThis is a 6-month, open-label, flexible-dose study evaluating desvenlafaxine succinate sustained release (DVS SR) in the treatment of child and adolescent outpatients with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Internet-CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for Depression and Anxiety in Parkinsons Disease
Parkinson's DiseaseDepression2 moreThe purpose of this project is to develop and evaluate Internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT) for Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients with concurrent depression or anxiety symptoms. All treatment in this project is given as an adjunct to Standard Medical Treatment (SMT). ICBT will be compared to an Internet-based active control treatment (ICONTROL) and to SMT alone. It is hypothesized that both active treatments will be superior to SMT, and that ICBT will be superior to ICONTROL, in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Depression Management Project
Major DepressionDepressionThe purpose of this study is to determine whether an eight-lesson self-help intervention delivered online will result in a reduction of depressive symptoms.

A Study of Flexible or Fixed Dose LY2216684 as Adjunctive Treatment for Participants With Major...
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)The purpose of this study is to assess if LY2216684 (flexible dose of 12 to 18 milligrams [mg] or fixed dose of 6 mg once daily) is superior to placebo once daily in the adjunctive treatment of participants with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who were identified as partial responders to an adequate course of treatment with a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) during an 8-week, double-blind, acute adjunctive treatment phase.

Study of the Effectiveness of Vestibular Stimulation as a Coadjuvant Treatment in Major Depression...
DepressionMajor Depression1 moreMajor depression is characterized by vestibular anomalies. The investigators hypothesized that vestibular stimulation will improve depression symptoms in major depression patients.

Holistic Approaches to Depression
DepressionThe purpose of the study is to investigate whether yoga or a health education group alleviate depressive symptoms for an individual with a partial response to antidepressant medication.

Mind-Body Skills Groups for the Treatment of War Zone Stress in Military and Veteran Populations...
Stress DisordersPost Traumatic4 moreThe purpose of this study is to determine whether participation in mind-body skills groups by veterans who have experienced a stressful war-related situation and have symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), will improve symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety, reduce anger, improve quality of life, quality of sleep and result in posttraumatic growth (a positive change that people can experience when they have been in a traumatic situation).

Duloxetine for Menopausal Depression
DepressionMenopause1 moreThe primary objective of the study is to determine if an eight-week intervention with duloxetine significantly reduces depressive symptoms in symptomatic menopausal women. It is hypothesized that an eight-week trial with duloxetine promotes significant improvement in depression symptoms in menopausal women. The secondary aim of the study is to examine if an eight-week intervention with duloxetine significantly reduces vasomotor symptoms in symptomatic menopausal women. It is hypothesized that an eight-week trial with duloxetine promotes significant improvement in vasomotor symptoms in menopausal women.

Treatment-Resistant Depression, Hippocampus Atrophy and Serotonin Genetic Polymorphism
Major DepressionReduction of volume of the hippocampus has been associated with major depression in many studies. It has been suggested that antidepressants may protect against hippocampus volume loss in humans associated with multiple episodes of depression and may also reverse the reduction of volume caused by the depression. In addition, genetic markers for serotonin are implicated with depression, and may be an indication of reduced response to antidepressant treatments. This study aims to enroll patients who are defined as having treatment resistant depression (no remission after at least 2 treatments trials with an antidepressant). They will receive an MRI scan at the initial visit and either 6 months after sustained remission or 12 months after they enter the study for non-remitters. They will also be asked to give a blood sample for genotyping. They will be matched by age and handedness to healthy volunteers with no personal history of depression who will also receive an MRI scan and genotyping. The first aim is to compare hippocampal volume of depressed subjects to healthy controls. It is anticipated that subjects will initially have smaller hippocampal volume but of those who sustain remission, there will be a small increase in hippocampal volume. It is also anticipated that specific genetic markers will be related to individuals response to antidepressant treatments.
