What Is TIDE?

The goal of TIDE is to find out which treatment works best for different young people experiencing depression for the first time. If we know in advance what treatment is likely to work best, we can help people recover faster from depression with the first treatment they try.
​​​​​​TIDE was created to learn about what might make it more or less likely for a particular treatment to work for a given young person. To find out, eligible young people experiencing depression for the first time receive best practice treatment for depression while contributing to research that will benefit other young people experiencing depression in the future.
TIDE stands for Treatment Interrupts Depression Early.
Depression is a common but serious condition that can affect people of all ages. It is most commonly experienced for the first time as a young person is approaching adulthood. Many treatment options exist to manage depression, but no single treatment works for everyone.​​​
