DBT booster sessions for youth at bipolar risk
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
