Volunteers needed for international study on depression

last modified 29/04/2009 14:25

By year 2020, depression will be the second biggest disease burden (after cardiovascular disease). However no reliable objective tool yet exists to support clinical decisions.

The prescription of anti-depression medication for example can be difficult because there are no evidence-based biological tests to ensure that people receive the type of medication that they will respond best to.

iSPOT-D is the largest international study ever undertaken into Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) that aims to find objective biological markers to identify depression and treatment outcomes.
