Are you depressed? Have you taken antidepressants but wondered if they are really making a difference? Most people suffering from depression will try multiple medications before finding the treatment that is right for them. Many give up frustrated.
By the year 2020, depression will be the second biggest disease burden (after cardiovascular disease). However, the prescription of antidepressant medication can be difficult because there are no evidence-based guidelines to ensure that people receive the type of medication that they will respond best to. If you are looking for quality, comprehensive treatment for depression, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical research study involving a new technology that uses EEGs to evaluate individual response to medication. The Center for Healing the Human Spirit is seeking volunteers to participate in iSPOT-D, a research study of response to 3 different antidepressants for Major Depression. iSPOT-D, the largest international study ever undertaken into Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), aims to find objective biological markers to identify depression and treatment outcomes. The goal of iSPOT-D is to develop a tool that can be easily used by physicians and health care professionals to ensure that those suffering from depression receive the right medication first go. The Center for Healing the Human Spirit is committed to providing the highest level of care to everyone who participates. If you qualify, your progress throughout the study will be closely monitored by Dr. Barbara A. Cohen, who offers a genuine interest in you and the quality of life you are living. Participants will be given a psychological evaluation, EEG assessment, and study-related laboratory test. This information will provide valuable insight into your depression for both you and your physician. Participation in this study is confidential, and you will be compensated for your time for participating in this study. For further information see http://www.ispot-d.info/www.ispot-...
