Long-term Observation of Mood Disorders

This study is observing people who have previously participated in research on mood and anxiety disorders at the National Institute of Mental Health. Researchers want to understand the long-term effects of conditions like depression and suicide risk. They are looking for adults aged 18 to 99 who previously consented to Protocol 01-M-0254 over a year ago. The main goal is to identify factors that predict long-lasting depression. This is an observational study, meaning no new treatments are being tested. The study is currently recruiting participants.
