Combined Antidepressant and Behavioural Intervention (CABIN) Study
21 May 2021
The CABIN study is looking for volunteers low in mood and activity aged 18-65 years to participate in a new research initiative at the University of Oxford. The study involves taking a capsule every day for 14 days and might also include receiving three psychological training sessions focused on activity planning and scheduling. The capsules might contain a placebo (inactive substance) or a commonly used antidepressant medication called citalopram (also known as Cipramil).

About the researcher
I am a first year DPhil student at the University of Oxford. My current work is focused on understanding how combining antidepressant medication and psychological therapy affects the brain, and how this can lead to better personalised treatment for low mood in the future.
