Funded Activity Summary

Identifying risk markers for depression: A cognitive neuroscience approach. This project will establish objective markers for detecting early signs of depression. These markers are crucial in enabling early intervention to limit the course of depression. They will also benefit the development of prevention strategies, since they provide a means to identify high risk individuals. Currently there exists no simple and objective test or set of markers that can detect the early signs of depression. The available tests provide information relevant to the later-stage of clinical depression only. In this regard, non-invasive and objective markers are urgently required to limit the burden of depression. In Australia, $3.3 billion in productivity and 12 million working days are lost each year as a result of depression.
