Description of Study:

The purpose of the study is to better understand how day-to-day stress affects cardiovascular health in people with depression. You will complete a short 2-3 min morning survey and a slightly longer 5-7 min evening survey every day for 14 consecutive days using an online survey tool. These surveys assess your daily experiences and behaviors. After each survey, you will be asked to complete three brief “brain games.” You will also attend a laboratory visit, at which we will assess your mood, personality, health behaviors, your brain’s thinking ability, and how well your blood vessels work. Finally, we will collect a blood sample.

Will participants be compensated for participation?
Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria:
