Purpose
By participating in the CAN-D Study you'll help us better understand how clinical depression affects hormones, indicators of cellular health, and aspects of neurobiology in adults, and how these changes respond to treatment with a standard antidepressant.
What's involved?
Study visits take place at the UCSF Parnassus Heights Medical Center. Participants with depression may begin an 8-week course of treatment with a standard FDA-approved antidepressant provided by a UCSF faculty psychiatrist. You will know which medication you are taking while enrolled in the study.
