The CPD Lab at Queen's University is looking at individuals who are experiencing depression to understand what predicts their recovery in daily functioning.
For this study, we will ask you to fill out some questionnaires and be part of an interview with a psychologist or a doctoral student about your mood and mental health symptoms. You will also be asked to complete tests that assess your cognitive abilities. You will be asked to participate in an assessment at our office over 2 days. Each assessment is 2.5 hours and will be repeated at month 6, 12, 18 and 24 to assess changes. You will receive $15 per hour for your participation to compensate you for your time in attending these sessions. Brief email questionnaires (about 5-10 minutes each month) will also be conducted to discuss your mental health symptoms and assess your functioning.
