Dose Response Effects of Estrogen Augmentation in Mood & Memory in Perimenopausal Depression
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Estrogen for Depressive Disorder, Major and Menopause. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
During perimenopause (the time just prior to menopause), women often notice many biological, psychological, and social changes. In particular, some women experience depressive symptoms during perimenopause that are severe enough to warrant antidepressant medication. Whether or not women with perimenopausal depression respond to antidepressant medication may depend on the level of estrogen in their blood. This study will investigate whether estrogen will help women who only partially respond to antidepressant medications, as well as examine how different doses of estrogen may affect individuals differently.
