Neither yoga or walking is approved for the treatment of depression, and we want to ensure this study will be a good fit for you. There is a two-step screening process to participate. The first step is a 30-minute telephone interview where you will learn more about the study. The second step is a 2-4 hour in person appointment with the principal investigator, Dr. Chris Streeter. During the screening process, you may discuss your depression, medications, health and mental health.<\/p>\n
We accept depressed people ages 18-65 into the study. Participants may continue taking some antidepressant medications and can continue seeing therapists. No medications are given during the study, and this may be a good fit for individuals who do not wish to be treated with antidepressants. Women cannot be pregnant, and this will be verified with blood and\/or urine pregnancy tests. Women who have Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine devices (e.g. Mirena\u00ae<\/span>, Skyla\u00ae<\/span>, Liletta\u00ae<\/span>) cannot participate. Due\u00a0to size restrictions on the MRI equipment, we cannot accept participants who weigh more than 300 lbs.<\/p>\n If you are interested in joining the study, you can contact us by emailing yogast@bu.edu<\/strong> or by calling (617) 638-8046<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Neither yoga or walking is approved for the treatment of depression, and we want to ensure this study will be a good fit for you.
