You may be eligible to participate in our study of ion and light therapy to prevent depression relapse

Join the LIMIT-D study: “Light and Ion Maintenance in Treatment of Depression”

The LIMIT-D study explores whether two different non-medication treatments, light therapy and ion therapy, can help prevent depression relapse when people stop taking their antidepressant medication.

The study involves:
• daily use of a bright light device or ion device (provided by our clinic) for up to 6 months
• meeting with the study doctor at the UBC Hospital for clinical assessments
• completing self-rated scales and questionnaires

This study uses a placebo condition. Half of the treatment devices have been modified so that they are inactive. If you enroll, you would have a 1 in 2 chance (like flipping a coin) of receiving either an active or an inactive device.

You may be eligible for our study if you:
-are 19-65 years old
-are currently taking an antidepressant for depression with no dose change in the past month
-are no longer feeling depressed, and want to stop your antidepressant medication
-do not have any other major medical or psychiatric conditions
-do not have a problem with substance use, currently or within the past 6 months

You will receive an honorarium for each in-person study visit to cover costs of participating.

This study is being conducted by Dr. Raymond Lam at the Mood Disorders Centre, UBC Hospital.
