Clinical Research

MAP at Mount Sinai is currently conducting several research studies in mood and anxiety disorders. All of our participants will receive reimbursement for their time and travel expenses, and all treatment studies are conducted entirely free of charge.

Besides research studies, we also are a tertiary care referral center for patients with the most serious and debilitating forms of depression (called treatment resistant depression). For patients referred to us, we conduct a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, and if appropriate, may refer the patient for vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), a FDA–approved treatment for treatment resistant depression. We also have several research protocols for difficult-to-treat depressions, including pharmacological trials and neurosurgical approaches.

Clinical Research Areas

• Major Depressive Disorder
• Generalized Anxiety Disorder
• Panic Disorder
