DBT-based care for youth at risk for bipolar disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a structured, “DBT-informed” care program for young people who either have bipolar disorder or are at family risk for it. It may help by offering closer, organized support aimed at preventing or reducing mood problems.

This trial tests whether a structured therapy called dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) helps young people with bipolar disorder or at risk for it, especially with self-harm or risky behaviors. It may help by teaching coping skills and improving safety and emotional control.
This study adds short “booster” sessions to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for young people who already took part in a prior DBT study, including those with bipolar symptoms or strong family risk. It aims to see if extra DBT support helps mood and coping over time.
This trial is testing treatments for children and teens (ages 9–19) who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or cyclothymic disorder. It also requires regular participation from a caregiver so the team can track symptoms and response over time.
This trial tests a structured skills program to help children and teens (ages 9–21) cope with early mental health warning signs such as anxiety, mood swings, or unusual thoughts. It may help participants build practical coping tools and well-being.
This study follows children and teens who may be at higher risk for bipolar disorder to develop a prediction model. It includes three groups: those with a parent who has bipolar disorder, those with atypical depression, and healthy volunteers.
This trial tests a digital version of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to help youth who are at high risk for psychosis. It aims to see if this online program can improve coping skills and reduce the chance of developing psychosis.
