What is Trintellix

VortioxetineThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryVortioxetine is an antidepressant medication used to treat major depressive disorder (MDD). It works by targeting multiple serotonin receptors in the brain to increase levels of the mood-regulating neurotransmitter. This drug acts as a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, meaning that it blocks the uptake of serotonin by nerve cells, and it also acts as a partial agonist of certain serotonin receptors. Vortioxetine was designed to be more effective than traditional antidepressants by targeting multiple serotonin receptors instead of just one.

Effectiveness

How Trintellix Affects PatientsVortioxetine is designed to interact with the serotonin transporter in the brain. It binds very strongly to this transporter, but not to others such as the norepinephrine or dopamine transporters. It also interacts with five different types of serotonin receptors, blocking some and partially activating others, in order to regulate serotonin levels in the brain.
How Trintellix works in the bodyVortioxetine works on the serotonin system in several ways. It acts as an inhibitor of the serotonin transporter, which helps keep serotonin in the brain longer. It also acts as a partial activator of certain serotonin receptors, while blocking some others. This helps balance the activity of serotonin in the brain, promoting a healthy state.

Trintellix for Major Depressive Disorder
I felt great for a few days after first taking this medication, then slipped back into depression for four weeks. I'm now on week five and feeling truly not depressed, just excited and motivated. The difference this Trintellix has made in my life is drastic; it really saved me from a painful existence.

Trintellix for Major Depressive Disorder
I had some mild nausea when I first started the treatment, but it quickly subsided. This has been by far the best medication that I've tried.

Trintellix for Major Depressive Disorder
I am feeling so much better since I started taking this medication. I had been in a major depressive episode for 10 months before starting this treatment, and it has only been a week. I'm excited to wake up again and have happy mood throughout the day. It's amazing.

Trintellix for Major Depressive Disorder
Out of the seven different medications I've tried, this one has helped me the most. However, it can be expensive because there is no generic version available. Additionally, I experienced fewer sexual side effects with this medication than with others.

Peer-Delivered Behavioral Activation for Depression

18+
All Sexes
Detroit, MI
Low-income individuals have limited access to evidence-based interventions for mental health. Peer recovery specialists, individuals in recovery from mental health and/or substance use problems, have the potential to increase access to evidence-based interventions for individuals from low-resource communities, particularly when trained and supervised in models that are acceptable and feasible in these communities. This study will examine the effectiveness and implementation potential of a peer-delivered evidence-based intervention (Behavioral Activation) among individuals receiving services from a community-based treatment setting providing integrated physical and behavioral healthcare.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Depression

18 - 85
All Sexes
San Diego, CA
The investigators propose a single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, tolerability and feasibility of at-home transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a treatment for depression, particularly in cases where patients have not responded well to traditional therapies. Treatment will be delivered over a 2-week period with daily weekday treatments i.e., five tDCS sessions, each lasting 20 minutes, spaced by approximately 20-minute inter-session intervals, for a total of three hours a day. Participants will self-administer treatment at home under direct remote supervision. Pre- and post- treatment neurophysiological biomarkers sessions will also be carried out. The study aims to examine changes in mood, brain activity, and related clinical outcomes before, during, and after treatment, with the goal to provide more information that can be used for future studies.

Digital Physical Activity for Depression

19 - 40
All Sexes
Auburn, AL
The present study will assess the effects of a four-week digitally delivered intervention on physical activity and depressive symptoms among adults experiencing at least moderate depressive symptoms. The main questions this research aims to answer are: * Does a digitally-delivered intervention increase physical activity levels? * Does a digitally-delivered intervention reduce symptoms of depression? Researchers will compare an intervention promoting physical activity to a passive control (does not receive the intervention) group to see if the intervention reduces depressive symptoms and increases physical activity levels. Participants will: * Visit the laboratory at two separate time points before group assignment, separated by one week of physical activity monitoring * Be randomly assigned to complete four weeks of a digital intervention prompting engagement in physical activity or have their mental health symptoms monitored over four weeks (i.e., passive control group) * Visit the laboratory at two separate time points after the intervention, separated by one week of physical activity monitoring
