Background Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a psychiatric condition. People with MDD have occasional bouts of depressive symptoms; these bouts are called major depressive episodes (MDEs). Researchers want to know if people having MDEs have lower levels of an enzyme called PDE4B in their brains. Primary Objective: To determine whether …
Early Life Stress and Depression: Molecular and Functional Imaging
Severe childhood adversity accounts for a large portion of psychiatric illness, and an increased risk for major depressive disorder (MDD). For some individuals, childhood adversity has negative psychological and medical consequences; others preserve mental and physical health despite such experiences (they are resilient). In spite of this, little is known …
Changing Tactics? Optimizing ECT in Difficult-to-treat Depression

The …
Comparing the Efficacy of Heated Yoga and Sauna as a Treatment for Depression

Accelerated iTBS for Depression: Monitoring Brain Hemodynamics With Simultaneous iTBS/fNIRS
This study will investigate the cortical hemodynamic response variability of an accelerated form of TBS stimulation over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using a concurrent TBS/fNIRS setup. The accelerating TMS protocol that will be used in this study is similar to the Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), i.e., fifty …

This study aims to identify how enhanced allopregnanolone activity (via pregnenolone) affects behavior and neurobiology that may underlie perimenopausal depression.
Investigation to Understand and Optimize Psilocybin
This study will examine the effects of a single dose of psilocybin, administered with psychological support, on symptoms of depression. It will also assess whether different post-dosing interventions, including a non-invasive technique called transcutaneous auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS), influence various psychological and behavioral outcomes. In addition, the study will …
Heart Rate Variability (HRV)-Guided Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
This technology development project will be informed and guided by initial data collection of human subject data. For this purpose, the investigators will recruit n=100 people with mild to moderate depression in a double-blinded, parallel-arm, sham-controlled data collection period administered at home and using the investigator's remotely supervised (RS) tDCS …
Intersession Processes in Psychotherapeutic Treatments Using an Ecological Momentary Assessment Approach (ISA-Bell)
The effects of a monitoring intervention as an add-on to face-to-face Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression are assessed in this randomised trial. Monitoring consists of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) of symptoms and inter-session processes via mobile phones. Twenty sessions of face-to-face CBT + EMA are compared to twenty sessions …
