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 study collects blood samples and health information from people with bipolar disorder and healthy volunteers to build a biobank for future research. It aims to understand the genetic and biological factors of bipolar disorder.
This study helps families talk about bipolar disorder when a parent or caregiver has it. Researchers are creating and testing a new tool to help young people understand their risk and recognize early warning signs, with the goal of getting help sooner if needed.
This study looks at how bipolar disorder (a condition causing swings between extreme highs and lows) changes over time, and how it affects people who are hospitalized. Parcipants will be followed to understand their prognosis, which may help improve care.
