Additional Study Information:
Are you feeling depressed? Researchers at Columbia University are using brain imaging to understand the biological causes of Major Depressive Disorder. Participation in this study would entail brain imaging scans (MRI and PET), infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which is a technique that measures oxygen use in the brain using a special kind of light (near infra-red light),and clinical assessments. Eligible individuals will be compensated up to $850 and may receive up to 3 months of free doctor visits for medication-based treatment. Local transportation will be covered.
