Are you depressed for more than two weeks? Researchers from UC Irvine and UC San Diego psychiatry departments are recruiting patients for a study of sleep deprivation as a potential treatment for depression. Led by Dr. Joseph Wu of UCI (pictured), the researchers will perform brain scans before and after sleep depravation and study how other changes in sleep time might affect depressed moods. Subjects will be compensated. For more information, contact Carol Schachat at 949-824-3362 or cschacha@uci.edu.
