The Mood and Anxiety Disorders Program of Emory University School of Medicine is dedicated to researching health care on a global level and treating it on a personal level. The purpose of their program is to help find improved treatments for depression and anxiety disorders. Most of Emory's studies involve the evaluation of a medication while others may involve psychotherapy or other non-medication treatments. Their staff includes an experienced team of medical doctors, psychologists, social workers and nurses in the field of psychiatry and medical research. Emory offers clinical trials at no cost to individuals who participate in their research studies.  All research is done at their office which is located on the Emory University campus in Atlanta, GA.  Participation in Emory's program is confidential.
