Depression can often feel lonely, but you are not alone – about 21 million adults have reported a Major Depressive Episode.1 Depression isn’t simply “feeling sad;” it can also include feeling low energy, having poor sleep, feeling emotionally numb, or losing interest in things you used to enjoy. Joining a research study may lead to possible treatments that could help manage depression for you and others.
