ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how people with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) make decisions during a depressive episode. The researchers want to understand how depression affects thinking and decision-making by having participants complete various tasks that assess their mental abilities and emotional symptoms. This information could help improve treatments for depression by providing better insights into how it impacts daily life.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between 18 and 65 years old and have been diagnosed with a depressive episode based on specific criteria. They should not have any other serious mental health conditions like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, and there should be no signs of dementia. If you join the trial, you can expect to complete some mental tests and assessments related to your mood and anxiety. The study is currently looking for participants, and your involvement could contribute to important findings in understanding depression.
