ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how sleep patterns and biological rhythms affect people suffering from major depressive episodes. Researchers want to better understand the different ways depression can show up in patients, which could help in finding better ways to diagnose and treat this condition. The study is part of a larger effort in France to create a national group of patients, allowing scientists to identify specific markers related to sleep and mood disorders that could lead to more effective treatments.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a major depressive episode and meets certain criteria, you might be eligible to participate in this study. Eligible participants include both adults and children who can understand and read French, and who are willing to share their experiences through questionnaires. Participants can expect to be part of a nationwide effort to improve mental health care, and they will be contributing valuable information that could help others in the future. It’s important to note that individuals in emergency medical situations or those unable to provide informed consent won’t be able to take part in the study.
