Summary

This study follows 252 people whose major depression is in remission to find early warning signs of relapse. Researchers will track symptoms, physical activity, sleep, thinking skills, and brain activity. The goal is to build a model that tells doctors who is likely to relapse and when, so they can step in early to prevent a full depressive episode.
