This trial is a “registry,” meaning you can share your health information to help researchers study depression and other mental health needs in Atlantic Canada. Being part of the registry may help researchers understand patterns and improve future support and treatments.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges Any age - NCT00762866Enrolling by invitation
Study of mental health traits using genetic and brain measurements
This study collects information about mental health symptoms and body/genetic samples to better understand how different mental health conditions are related. Some people may also have brain scans (PET or MRI) if they can safely complete them.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 16–65 - NCT07404085Recruiting
Cognitive training with medication for mood disorders
This trial tests if a medication can boost the effects of cognitive training in people with bipolar disorder or recurrent depression who have memory or thinking problems. It aims to improve daily functioning.

Tourniquet Type for Monitoring Brain Activity During ECT
This study compares two types of arm tourniquets (blood-pressure cuffs) used during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) to help doctors monitor seizure activity more accurately. ECT is a treatment for severe depression and other psychiatric conditions, and tourniquets help track how well the treatment is working.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT03217110Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for thinking and control
This trial tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain involved in coordination and learning) can improve “cognitive control,” or the ability to focus and manage thoughts.

- How do I know if I qualify for a bipolar disorder i or ii trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a bipolar disorder i or ii trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
