Transdiagnostic Endophenotypes of Anxiety and Depression
Eligible participants will come in for three separate visits in which they will be
interviewed, perform a variety of tasks, and undergo a non-invasive MRI scan. The
investigators anticipate that (1) participants with anxiety and depression will likely
perform differently than the healthy controls on cognitive tasks, (2) participants with
anxiety and depression will likely show differences in brain functionality compared to the
healthy controls, and (3) depression and anxiety likely share some underlying mechanisms.

In order to determine eligibility, a brief phone screen lasting approximately 15 minutes will
be conducted. If participants are eligible, they will be asked to come in for three separate
visits. During the first visit, participants will complete questionnaires as well as a
structured interview with one of the study's staff members at Palo Alto University in Los
Altos. During the second visit, participants would come to Palo Alto University in Los Altos
and complete questionnaires as well as a testing session involving various tasks. During the
third visit, participants would undergo a non-invasive brain scan in which participants would
complete a task as well as various questionnaires at Stanford University in Stanford.
The investigators have flexible hours and can work around participants' schedules! To inquire
more about participation, participants can either email the investigators at
