Why did patients apply to this trial?

I've suffered from MDD for over two decades. I've tried dozens of treatments, but none have brought more than partial relief.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
I’ve had TRD since I was 8 years old. I’ve tried almost every antidepressant on the market. The only med that helped was Abilify added to lexapro but that caused me to have TD. I just want quality of life that I’ve never had in 55 years. I want to wake up without the depression knot in my stomach.
