The Depression Clinical and Research Program at MGH is trying to understand the relationship between stress related to depression and how it may cause cells in the body to age, and thus impact long term health.
This study involves having a formal psychiatric interview, filling out some questionnaires and having a blood draw. We may ask you to return 4 times over the next 8 years to repeat the same procedure. There is no treatment offered in this study, but this study can be done in combination with several treatment studies at our program.
You may be eligible if:
1. You are currently depressed and are not currently
taking an anti-depressant medication.
2. You are between 18 and 70 years of age.
Procedures will take about 2 and ½ hours each visit, and participants will be paid up to $75 per visit for their time and effort.
