What this trial studies

This protocol aims to screen patients with mood and anxiety disorders, as well as healthy volunteers, for participation in research at the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Participants will undergo a comprehensive evaluation that includes psychiatric interviews, diagnostic assessments, medical histories, physical exams, and various laboratory tests. The collected data will help enhance understanding of mood disorders and may link to other research protocols for deeper insights into diagnosis and treatment responses. The study serves as an entry point for individuals interested in participating in NIMH-approved research.
