Child Bipolar Disorder Network (CBN) Study: Treating Youth with or at Risk for Bipolar
We want to find better ways to treat bipolar disorders. We are looking for children, teens, and young adults, aged 9 to 21 years old, to join our study.
Why this Research Matters
Do you or your child have signs of bipolar disorder? We are looking for children, teens, and young adults whose moods change between feeling very sad or having too much energy. If you or your child joins this study, you or your child will get a full check-up and advice on treatment from a team of experts. People in this study will be seen by a doctor that specializes in mood disorders for up to 12 months. You or your child will be compensated for your time.
You or your child will complete three study visits over 12 months. You will have the option to do the visits online. During the visits, you or your child will answer questions and fill out surveys about health, mood, daily life, and things that have happened to you. You and your child will also fill out online surveys to track moods and emotions. You can also choose to let us collect your blood.
Your participation will be for about 12 months.
You or your child may be able to join the study if:
- You are between 9 to 21 years old.
- You have bipolar disorder (BD) I or II, other specified BD (OSBD), or cyclothymic disorder.
- If you are under 18, have a parent or guardian that can help with the study.
