Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mood disorder characterized primarily by low mood, diminished interest, and reduced energy. Traditional views considered depression a non-degenerative condition; however, recent epidemiological studies have revealed its significant association with impaired social functioning. Data indicate that 59.3% of patients with depression experience social dysfunction of …
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is currently one of the leading causes of disability and suicidal death worldwide, and despite extensive research and massive improvements in mental health, the nature of MDD remains ambiguous. Moreover, about two-thirds of MDD patients fail to optimally respond to currently available standard therapies, and many …
The Investigators propose to carry out a randomized, double-blind trial to compare the clinical efficacy of an individualized connectome-guided accelerated iTBS vs an anatomically-guided (Beam F3) accelerated iTBS. The study team will recruit both inpatients and outpatients who had been referred for TMS for the treatment of depression.
The goal of this study is to establish the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of sleep-state transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for enhancing plasticity in depression treatment.
Intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), a variant of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), is a well-documented treatment for depression. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an accelerated iTBS protocol (1W-AiTBS) in routine clinical practice. In the accelerated protocol, patients receive 600 pulses per session, for a …
Background Depression is a common mental disorder characterized by persistent low mood and anhedonia. Pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatments demonstrate only moderate efficacy. Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques offer novel therapeutic approaches. Among these, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) holds advantages due to its simplicity, low cost, and minimal side effects, exhibiting …
The goal of this study is to find out if the antihistamine, clemastine, can make the white matter in the brain better in older adults with depression. The study will also determine whether this improvement can make antidepressant treatment work better, reduce depressive symptoms, and improve memory and thinking.
This pilot, three-arm randomized clinical trial (N=40; 2:1:1) will evaluate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a digitally enhanced stepped-care approach for depression treatment in primary care. Participants will be randomized to: (1) stepped-care beginning with a self-guided Behavioral Activation app (Moodivate), with stepping to clinician-delivered telebehavioral health Behavioral Activation …
The purpose of this study is to understand how a psychotropic medication called guanfacine affects brain network functioning in humans, and how this function interacts with cognitive impairments in people experiencing depressive symptoms.
Participation in the CALYPSO project will be offered to all patients with severe depression hospitalized in the adult psychiatry department of Lille CHU. An initial visit will provide a standardized clinical assessment with: a medical history and history of the disease, a standardized structured Hamilton scale interview (scale with a …
