Participants also will be closely monitored for 24 weeks and receive follow-up psychiatric evaluations for one year. If at any time during the study there is little or no improvement or symptoms worsen, the participant may be withdrawn from the study and offered other treatment options. Participants must be between the ages of 12 and 18, currently in treatment for depression, taking Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, Luvox or Celexa, and still experiencing depression. Volunteers will be compensated for their time and parking. Study medications, office visits, physical examinations, lab tests and evaluations will be provided at no cost.
All calls are confidential.
