ARE YOU DEPRESSED?
Are you feeling hopeless, sleepless, lacking energy and unable to cope with life? Your problem may be depression. Many people go through life suffering from depression, never understanding that it is a medical illness and in many cases can be effectively treated with medication. Dr. R. Taylor Segraves, a psychiatrist at MetroHealth Medical Center is conducting a research study on depression. We offer quality medical evaluation and treatment with an investigational new medication.
There is no out-of-pocket cost to you.
For additional information or to see if you would qualify to participate in this study, please call Carole Nally Bubna, R.N. at 216/778-5720 A teaching center of Case Western Reserve University
