Stanford seeks volunteers for depression study



Share
Stanford University School of Medicine is seeking 300 volunteers for a study focusing on the role of genes in depression.

People who have had depression before the age of 31, who have experienced at least two depressive episodes, and who have at least one sibling or parent with depression may be eligible to participate in the study.

Dr. Douglas Levinson, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford, is leading the study.

During the four-year study, researchers at six universities will gather information on personal and family mental health history from people with major depressive disorder. They will also collect blood samples to conduct DNA studies.

For more information, visit depressiongenetics.stanford.edu or call 736-0481.
