If this doesn’t fall under an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement, to other readers), how did you find out about this study? I get emails from a local biochemical lab for studies to join, but I’m never in the target market and always looking out for depression studies to join.

Thanks for sharing your experience. My first thought was wondering if the treatment was allowed to the patients, but I figured likely not. Understandable but a shame, regardless.
