What is the GLAD Study?
The GLAD Study is a project set up to explore risk factors in individuals who have experienced depression and/or anxiety, including those with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, OCD, or related disorders, at any time in their lives.
It aims to better understand depression and anxiety in order to find and develop more effective treatments. The GLAD study is also part of the NIHR BioResource, which is a library of information about people’s health aiming to support research in both physical and mental health.
