This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study tests whether a simple system of weekly depression symptom check-ins—combined with personalized feedback sent to both you and your doctor—can help improve depression treatment. The feedback is designed to help you and your care team make better decisions about your treatment together, based on real data about how you're doing.
Many people with depression don't get better even with treatment, and their symptoms often come back or last a long time. Recent research suggests that regular measurement of symptoms and sharing those results with both patients and doctors can lead to better outcomes, especially when patients are actively involved in shaping their own care.

You will use an online platform to complete short depression symptom surveys each week for 6 months. In the first 3 months, you'll get weekly feedback reports showing your symptom trends and progress toward your personal goals, with your doctor receiving similar reports to guide treatment decisions. Starting in month 4, you'll complete surveys and receive feedback monthly. You'll be encouraged to meet with your clinician roughly once a month to discuss the results together and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
