Description

Summary

This study aims to assess whether phenotyping-guided intervention selection is superior to intervention selection without phenotyping guidance (i.e., routine clinician and patient judgment regarding treatment selection) for depression.

Details

This study will classify patients seen in the Depression Clinic of the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences into one of five phenotypes (subtypes), including: 1) Anhedonia, 2) Cognitive deficits, 3) Stress sensitivity, 4) Anxious distress, and 5) Grief.

After phenotyping, participants will be randomized to receive phenotype-specific intervention (PSI) or care as usual (CAU).
