How Depression studies are organized in the registry

Most records use the formal term “major depressive disorder” or MDD rather than “depression” alone, and “treatment-resistant depression” (TRD) labels a distinct, sizable subset. The portfolio includes many behavioral, digital, and device interventions, so the intervention and study-type filters do real work here.

Terms that often appear in related listings

These describe how studies tend to be titled and grouped on ClinicalTrials.gov — they are search vocabulary, not medical guidance.
