Our research team has a lot of experience conducting this type of research in depressed suicidal patients and providing treatment to suicidal individuals.

We are currently recruiting depressed patients with and without a history of suicidal behavior for brain imaging (PET and MRI) and stress response studies.

We offer up to six months of treatment to depressed patients who participate in our research studies.

The first month of medication is provided free of charge and the doctor visits are free for the six months.

All medications prescribed are FDA-approved.

Patients will be provided with op to one month of inpatient care if deemed clinically necessary.

If you are interested in referring a patient to one of our research protocols, please contact our Research Coordinator at 646-775-7561 or fusterd@nyspi.columbia.edu.
