Who can participate in a clinical research study?
A. Each clinical research study has a protocol that outlines the study criteria for participation. Study criteria may include (but are not limited to) age, medical history, disease type, and current medications. Just because you may not be eligible for a currently enrolling research study does not mean you do not have bipolar disorder or another type of mood disorder, and you should seek alternative forms of care if your symptoms are troublesome and we do not have a study design for you to participate in.
