Bipolar Depression (Manic Depression)
Do you have extreme changes in mood, thought, energy and behavior? Do highs and lows rule your life? Do you have racing thoughts? Are you persistently irritable? These symptoms can be signs of Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Disorder affects more than two million Americans. It sometimes begins during young adult years, and affects men and women equally. People of all ethnic backgrounds can have Bipolar Disorder.
Major Depressive Disorder
Have you felt depressed and down for more than two months? Clinical Depression is a common problem, affecting one of eight Americans over the lifespan. Depression can occur at any age. Depression is a real illness, not just sadness or a character flaw.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder
Do you worry more than most people do? You could be a candidate to volunteer as a participant in a clinical research trial of a new investigational medicine for Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). People with GAD are bothered by worry more than other people. Other signs of GAD are
- Loss of Concentration
- Irritability
- Trembling or feeling shaky
- Heart racing
- Sweating
Help researchers stop the worry problem. See if this medicine will help with your worry.
"As you know (we) have contracted with an outside vendor for review of the recorded MINI interviews for the primary purpose of ensuring that high quality diagnostic interviews are conducted at all sites. Based on a review of several interviews, the reviewer found that the MINI interview was conducted as defined by the protocol and you adhered to the instructions contained in the MINI. In addition, you asked a sufficient number of probes to determine all diagnoses and did not inappropriately lead the patient. Congratulations on the high quality of the MINI interviews at your site." |
