Depression

We are conducting a research study for the investigational use of a new medication for depression. It will be compared to an anti-depressant medication that is already FDA approved. The study will be conducted over an 8 week period with an optional 6 month extension. This trial does offer payment for your time and travel expenses associated with completing the study the visits.

During the course of study you will receive medical and laboratory examinations at no charge including regular follow-up visits. To ensure that your medication is helping, regular assessments will be made by our psychiatric team. If you think you are depressed please call.
