We are looking for volunteers who either:
REMEDi is short for REmission MEchanisms in Depression. The REMEDi study uses state-of-the-art brain imaging methods to investigate why only some people with depression get better when they take antidepressants.
To do this we need to recruit people who are currently depressed but not taking any medication and compare them with people who have never experienced depression.
The study involves visiting the University of Manchester for an interview, questionnaires, computerised tasks and an fMRI brain scan. After this the depressed volunteers are carefully followed up while receiving treatment with a standard antidepressant drug for 8 weeks and then the tests will be repeated.
Travelling expenses are reimbursed and participants receive £120 for their time if they complete the study.
We hope the results of this study will help future depressed patients receive the best treatment for them right away, rather than having to go through a process of trial and error.
