Evaluation of Mood and Anxiety Disorders and Healthy Volunteers

This study aims to carefully screen patients with mood and anxiety disorders, as well as healthy volunteers, for participation in research studies at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It also collects information to better understand these conditions. There are no specific interventions (treatments) being tested in this study. Instead, participants will undergo evaluations that may include psychiatric and diagnostic interviews, physical exams, brain scans (MRI, CT, EEG, MEG), and blood, saliva, and urine tests. The main goal is to determine if you are eligible for other research studies. This study is open to individuals aged 3 to 99 years old. The current status of the study is unclear, and it plans to enroll up to 16,000 people.
