Johns Hopkins is seeking people who have a diagnosis of bipolar I disorder to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to create a database of information that allows researchers to explore how genetics and other biomarkers are impacted by bipolar disorder and its treatment. This information will be useful in learning more about bipolar disorder and to assist in the development of individualized care.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- are 18-75 years of age
- have been diagnosed with bipolar I disorder
If you choose to participate in the study, you will be asked to complete four annual in-person study visits—consisting of cognitive assessments, blood draw, and an MRI scan—as well as to complete a series of short online surveys periodically over the course of four years.
Compensation will be provided for your time.
