Are you, or someone you know, living with depression?
Our Glasgow Research on Mood and Wellbeing clinic (GROW) is open and taking referrals for people living in the NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde area who are interested in learning about new research approaches to managing their mood. We’re part of a UK-wide network of research clinics dedicated to improving lives of people with mood problems.
The Glasgow Research on Mood and Wellbeing (GROW) Clinic is a joint NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and University of Glasgow service providing a one-off specialist assessment for adults with depression and offers patients the opportunity to take part in relevant depression-related research.
The GROW Clinic is intended to support and not replace routine care. Ongoing management remains with the referring clinician and existing services.
