Read our Depressive Disorder research guide →Researchers want to understand how people with depression experience their bodies—for example, how aware they are of physical sensations and how they feel about their bodies. This study will ask 125 people admitted to the hospital for depression to fill out questionnaires at the beginning and end of their stay, to see if body awareness changes as their mood improves during treatment.
Depression often affects not just mood but also how people experience their own bodies. Doctors and therapists want to better understand this connection so they can provide more complete care for people with depression.

When you arrive at the hospital for depression treatment, you will fill out several questionnaires within the first week—covering your background, mood, sleep, physical activity, and how you experience your body. Some questions can be answered with help from staff if needed. When you are ready to leave the hospital, you will complete a shorter set of the same questionnaires again. The whole process takes a few hours spread across your hospital stay.
