Depression Treatment & Therapy

Effective Depression Treatment Starts With Effective Research

Capital Clinical Research Associates (CCRA), in Rockville Maryland, is improving the treatment of depression through expertly designed clinical research. With the help of study participants in Rockville, and the Metro DC area, we are expanding societies' understanding of depression's causes, symptoms and treatment options.

Depression affects as many as 19 million Americans or 9.5% of the population (Source: NIH Pub. No: NIH 99-3561). If you are struggling with depression, you are not alone. Here at CCRA we are dedicated to advancing the treatment of depression and are looking for people to help us with this very important mission. We are currently looking for volunteers who are struggling with depression to participate in several different studies.

Our studies range in length from a couple of months to over a year in some cases. While participating in one of our studies, you may receive full physical work ups and regular follow up visits with our team of highly qualified and experienced psychiatrists. In addition, participants receive study medications at no cost and may be compensated for travel expenses.

Many of our studies involve taking medication and possibly taking a placebo. Some studies entail testing new investigational drugs that treat symptoms of depression. We also run studies that use currently available medications or test the effectiveness of combining well-known marketed medication in new ways in the hopes of helping people with severe depression. All the medications that we study have gone through initial FDA evaluation and are considered to be safe for further study.

Please Note: We are currently recruiting Metro DC residents from 18 to 65 who are experiencing symptoms of depression to participate in a research study. To be considered for this study, please fill out our online depression assessment form, contact us at 301-770-7375, or fill out our depression study inquiry form on the right of this page.
