Active clinical trials for "Depressive Disorder"

The purpose of this study is to test two differently worded versions of the Shared Decision Making Process scale in a sample of adults who have recently made a decision about treatment of depression. The main goals are to gather evidence of reliability, to test whether the generic version has similar psychometric performance to the original, and to extend generalizability of the findings to younger adults.

The heart rate (HR) is regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and results from a balance between the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) that accelerates the heart rate and the parasympathetic nervous system that slows the HR via the vagus nerve. Low HRV is linked to poor emotional and cognitive regulation. Values for HRV are generally lower in depressed patients. The aim of this study is to determine how HRV could be a clinical marker that can be used in routine psychiatry practice in patients with anxio-depressive disorders, to determine the severity of symptoms and the degree of response to treatment.

To assess the depression in adults especially in post COVID-19 duration in the rural and urban settings.

Maternal attachment, Edinburgh depression scoring, and postpartum anxiety scale are evaluated in patients with covid-positive pregnancies in the 3rd month after birth.

The covid-19 pandemic started to spread worldwide since December 2019.

This study examines the corona related anxiety and if there is need for drug intervention to treat this anxiety. To answer these questions, a survey made to the hospitalized patients including sex, age, educational level, Marital state, and a standardized questionnaires (GAD-7 and PHQ-9) which has been validated and shown to possess good psychometric qualities in studies of participants from multiple populations.

This cohort study is a large population-based study in the UK to determine the risks of comorbid mental health conditions (including depression, anxiety and other potential psychological complications of vitiligo) in adults with vitiligo compared to controls and to evaluate whether the relative risks may vary by different ethnicity.

This study is a large population-based analysis in the United Kingdom (UK) using routine primary care data to investigate the risk of mental health conditions in children, adolescents and young adults with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, compared to those without Inflammatory Bowel Disease. The study will also compare the impacts on quality-of-life outcomes and use of healthcare services between people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease with and without mental health conditions.

To examine whether the medial prefrontal cortex displays an increased activity during self-referential processing among remitted depressed patients compared to healthy controls

The purpose of this study is to (a) measure how brain structure, metabolism (how the brain uses energy), and function predict response to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for treatment of depression; and (b) measure how ECT changes brain metabolism and function. We will ask you to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at three sessions: (1) prior to your first ECT therapy session, (2) after having 4-6 ECT therapy sessions, and (3) approximately two months following your first ECT therapy sessions.

The purpose of this study is to determine the level of residual symptoms and psychosocial factors affecting recovery of psychosocial functions in MDD patients who reach remission, and investigate the recovery process of psychosocial functions. The investigators suppose that even the patient is well-treated by drug,there are still many residual symptoms,and they also exist different degree of damage in the structure and functions of brain. CBT could help them obtain better recovery,especially in psychosocial functions.
