The GLAD Study is a project set up to support studies exploring risk factors for depression and/or anxiety. The aim is to collect the psychological, medical, and genetic information of 40,000 people with experience of anxiety and depression. We also want to recruit 10,000 individuals without any history of mental disorder to help explore why some people do and some people don't become ill. This will help us to better understand the role both our genes and environment play in the development of these illnesses. A deeper understanding of anxiety and depression, means we will be better equipped to help those who are experiencing them. In the UK, 1 in 3 people will experience symptoms of anxiety or depression during their lifetime, and treatment is only effective in about half of people, with symptoms often having devastating impacts on people's quality of life. Together with your help, we want to change this. Help make a difference by signing up to GLAD today.
