Measure
High Risk Depression
Interventions will include the prescribing of Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, bupropion or other antidepressant. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI): Subjects with depression will be treated with a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) or a Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) for 24 months.
Low Risk Depression
Interventions will include the prescribing of Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor or Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor antidepressants, bupropion or other antidepressant.. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI): Subjects with depression will be treated with a Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) or a Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) for 24 months.
Healthy Control
There is no intervention, but rather phone follow ups conducted as check ins to determine the continued eligibility of the healthy control participant.
Bipolar
Bipolar participants are checked in with via phone conversations every three months, and have the opportunity to be scheduled for non-study visits to manage their symptoms.
