Study Details
Teen Depression Therapy
(IRB#: IRB_00113733)
Depression is a mental health condition that can cause a loss of interest in activities and function in a persons daily life. This study wants to see if therapy can help teenagers stay healthy and prevent depression from happening again. Participants will receive therapy virtually on a computer or other device using Zoom or another method, complete surveys, computer testing, and a brain scan using an MRI (a tool to take pictures of the brain). Therapy sessions will be done weekly for 10-14 sessions. Participation lasts 2 years to assess depression. Participants will be paid for time spent in the study outside of therapy sessions.
