UIC Conect Lab

Volunteers who are struggling with depression can help with a research study that is examining why depression returns or how we can best predict who is at highest risk of depression returning.

The study is conducted at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It involves coming to UIC for 2-5 visits and over approximately 8-20 weeks and includes: clinical interviews and a standardized depression treatment plan using FDA approved antidepressant medications. If your depression responds to treatment, you will then enter a second study phase. Participation in this second phase lasts for two years and involves 5-8 visits to UIC, 6-9 phone calls, brain MRIs, memory testing, and at home assessments.

Individuals age 60 or above may be eligible if they are currently struggling with depression, have no other mental health problems, and are able to have an MRI scan.
Participants will be reimbursed up to $160 for their time spent in the first part of the study. Participants who enter the second phase will receive up to $1000 for completing the study.
