Yale Depression Research Program
Principal Investigator
Mission
The Yale Depression Research Program is committed to advancing the treatment of unipolar depression by improving our ability to diagnose and treat mood disorders through a variety of research studies.
Who is eligible for research?
For most studies, men and women between 18 and 65 years of age who meet criteria for major depression and are free from recent drug and/or alcohol abuse are potentially eligible.
Evaluation Process
Potential subjects will be screened by phone to rule out any obvious exclusion criteria. Those who may be eligible for a study will be invited to our clinic for a comprehensive evaluation free of charge.
