We now know that one in seven people will experience a clinical depression in their lifetime. But we also know that depression can be treated, even though many people with depression never seek treatment and needlessly suffer. Clinical trials are an important process to help with the development of effective treatments.
FutureSearch is conducting a depression research study in Dallas, TX. This depression study is looking to asses the efficacy of a new medication. Clinical research trials for depression vary in time but the expected time for this one is typically about 6 weeks but times can vary.

What is Depression?
Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. While everyone might occasionally feel sad or blue, a clinical depression (doctors call it major depression) does not pass, interferes with daily life and can cause pain for both the patient and those around them. In addition to persistent sadness and low mood, people with depression lose interest in things and people around them. Depression can cause trouble with sleep, appetite changes and loss of energy. Concentration and focus can also be affected. Sometimes, people with depression feel hopeless, helpless and even weary of life.
