Hi Wendy. Thanks for this video and the great efforts you are making.

Are there any other ways to study Bio Markers besides using blood ? Like using Hair, Nail or the electrical energy we give off ?

Are you also looking into the possibility of an external cause for depression. Particularly a side effect of a prescription medication.

Hi Wendy - Thanks for reaching out - The CAN-BIND program is examining a comprehensive range of clinical, environmental, neurobiological and molecular factors with the primary goal of personalizing treatment and predicting treatment outcome on an individual basis.

What, if anything, can PET scans tell us about depression?

[@thecan-bindprogram7786]

Thanks for your question, Shelley, Dr. Sakina Rizvi, from CAN-BIND says the following: "PET scans are unique in that they give us an opportunity to take a closer look at what is happening in the brain on a cellular level in real time. Because of this, PET scans have shown how various neurotransmitter systems function in the brain of a depressed individual, information that could otherwise only be collected in animal studies. "
