Today there is hope in improved treatment of psychiatric
illnesses through the medications being developed for these illnesses.
Carman Research works with major pharmaceutical companies in
testing the effectiveness and safety of investigational medications. Depression and Anxiety are
prominent in our research, but we also focus on other disorders, such
as Social
Phobia, Panic Disorder, and Bipolar
Disorder.
Our facility identifies and recruits appropriate patients and monitors them during the
study. If you qualify and consent to participate, there is no charge for your study
medication or office visits. You are responsible for attendance at regular appointments.
