This study is building the Texas Youth Depression and Suicide Research Network to better understand depression and suicide in young people. It aims to create a registry of participants and study the systems and treatments currently in place across Texas. You may be able to join if you are between 8 and 20 years old and have screened positive for depression or suicidal thoughts, or are currently being treated for depression. The main goal is to establish this network and registry, which will be measured over 10 years. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving any specific treatments.
