Summary

This study is creating a large registry of 5,000 young people aged 8 to 20 who have depression or suicidal thoughts. Researchers will collect data from clinics across Texas to better understand these conditions and develop models to predict outcomes. The goal is to improve population health and guide future interventions, not to test a new drug or treatment.
