Exploring the emotional regulation and executive functioning in individuals with bipolar disorder and autistic traits
The purpose of the present study is to understand the relationship between emotional regulation and executive functioning in adults with bipolar disorder (BD) and autistic traits.
Magnetic Seizure Therapy in Bipolar Depression and Treatment Resistant Depression
The purpose of this study is to obtain a preliminary comparison of the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of Magnetic Seizure Therapy (MST) and Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT).
Use of the Videra Health Phone App for Patients with Bipolar Disorder
The Videra Health application software (app) is a new technology used by doctors to help provide better care for patients by collecting information about their symptoms in between office visits. During this one-year-long study, eligible participants will use a free-of-charge app downloaded on their phone or computer to track their mood by filling out short structured surveys. This study includes periodic assessments through the app and seven remote check-ins with the study team.
