Brain scan study in teens with borderline and/or PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to compare brain patterns in teens with borderline personality disorder and those with PTSD, as well as teens without these mental health diagnoses. It may help researchers understand what brain differences go along with these conditions and how they relate to each other.
