Mood & Mental Health research studies are looking for volunteers in Florida, with study locations in Miami, Boynton Beach, Hollywood and 1 more town.
Depression and anxiety are followed here the way they are lived: week by week, in conversation. Mood and mental health research tracks how people feel over months, and the person's own therapist, doctor and medicines stay in place unless a full conversation says otherwise.
People weighing mood research usually fear two things: being judged, and having their care turned upside down. Neither is how these programs work. Visits are mostly conversation about how the weeks have gone, with short questionnaires about mood, sleep and energy, and the clinical team explains before anyone decides how a program fits with current medicines and therapy.
Teams follow how depression or anxiety moves over months: better stretches, harder ones, what sleep and daily life look like in each. Taking part usually means a first visit and a series of check-ins over time, and a person may leave at any point.
An independent review board approves every mood and mental health program before it opens and watches it while it runs. Register your interest here and the clinical team will call to share what is nearby.

Frequently asked questions
Will I have to stop my antidepressant or my therapy?
Programs differ, and the clinical team says exactly how a program fits with a person's current care on the first call. Nothing changes before that conversation.
What is a mood research visit like?
Mostly talking: how the last weeks went, sleep, energy, what felt hard. Short questionnaires add numbers to the story. Visits are private and unhurried.
What are teams trying to learn about mood and mental health?
How depression and anxiety move over months, which stretches are harder, and how sleep and daily life track with them. Seeing the pattern over time is the point.
Is what I share kept confidential?
Yes. Conversations and questionnaires stay inside the program under the privacy rules every clinical program follows, and the clinical team explains who sees what before anything begins.
What if I feel worse during a program?
The clinical team has a plan for that, agreed in advance, and is reachable between visits. A person's own doctor or therapist stays involved.
Is there compensation for taking part?
Compensation may be available for your time and inconvenience.
