Major Depressive Disorder
Placebo-controlled Trial of 5-hydroxytryptophan and Creatine for SSRI or SNRI Augmentation in Treatment Resistant Depression in Females
The investigators propose to determine if 8 weeks of dietary augmentation with oral 5g creatine monohydrate daily and 100 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) twice daily reduces hypoxia-related depressive symptoms measured by the…

Major Depressive Disorder
Dopaminergic Effects of Adjunctive Aripiprazole on the Brain in Treatment-Resistant Depression

Major Depressive Disorder
5-hydroxytryptophan and Creatine for Treatment Resistant Depression Associated With Hypoxia in Females
The investigators hypothesize that the administration of two widely available, naturally occurring dietary supplements, 5 hydroxytryptophan and creatine monohydrate, will reduce the severity of depression in individuals exposed…

PET Biomarkers in Treatment Resistant Depression
The primary objectives of the study are to test whether brain Mono Amine Oxidase-A (MAO-A) levels are elevated in patients with treatment-resistant major depression, and to explore whether MAO-A brain levels predict treatment…
