We are researching the genetics of those who have major depressive disorder or bipolar disorder and have received or been evaluated for interventional treatments such as ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), esketamine, and ketamine. "GenECT" is a research study to find ways to improve treatment for severe depression. We want to answer questions like: "Why do some people get severe depression and other people do not?" "Why do interventional treatments like ECT benefit some people more than others?" The GenECT study is a global effort to understand the genetics of severe depression. Dozens of doctors and scientists from around the world are working together with tens of thousands of patients to find out the answers to these questions. UNC is a lead site in this global effort.
