NCT ID NCT03953014
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a child's genes can predict if they will have a rare but serious side effect from common antidepressants (SSRIs) called behavioral disinhibition, which can cause agitation or impulsivity. Researchers will collect saliva samples from 120 children and young adults (ages 6-24) with depression, anxiety, or OCD who have taken or are taking SSRIs. The goal is to find genetic markers that could help doctors choose safer treatments in the future.
