Your participation in research is vital to finding causes of and improving treatments for depression, bipolar and other mood disorders. When you join a research study, you become a valued member of a scientific community that is advancing knowledge that could impact the lives of millions. In addition, you have access to cutting edge treatments and the worlds leading experts who are pioneering the future of medicine.
Who can participate in research? Research studies need the involvement of not only those who have mood disorders, but also healthy individuals in order to allow scientists to understand the origins of the illness and to compare outcomes. Thousands have contributed to research breakthroughs in cancer, heart disease, and diabetes; the National Network of Depression Centers (NNDC) needs your help in achieving the same successes in the field of mood disorders.
