This trial tests a new medical device that uses a blood test to help doctors accurately diagnose bipolar disorder in people who were thought to have major depression. It aims to see if the device can tell the difference and improve treatment choices.
This study uses brain scans to understand emotions in bipolar disorder. It compares people with bipolar who are currently depressed or in a mixed state to healthy volunteers, and involves up to two visits to the research center.
This study looks at how people with bipolar depression and healthy volunteers process social situations and how their bodies respond. It may help researchers find better ways to support people with bipolar disorder.
This study looks at medical health issues in people with bipolar disorder. It aims to understand how physical health conditions affect the illness, which could lead to better care.
This study looks at how immune cells in your blood (called CD8+ T cells) might be different in people with bipolar disorder. By comparing blood samples from people with bipolar and healthy volunteers, researchers hope to find new clues for diagnosis and treatment.
