Nationwide-$100 Bipolar Research Study(individual + parents)

Researchers at Johns Hopkins are seeking families to participate in a research study, The Genetics of Early-onset of Mania. We are dedicated to locating the genes associated with the early onset of Bipolar Disorder. The main individual could be a child or adult with an age of onset of Bipolar Disorder between under age 22. Participation includes an interview with a psychiatrist and having a small blood sample taken. To accurately analyze data for this study, the biological parents of the main study participant must complete the study as well. Confidentiality is ensured. Participants will be reimbursed at least $100 for completing the study. You do not need to be local to participate in this research study.
