The Department of Psychiatry at Dell Medical School is conducting a research study that looks at genes and how the brain works using advanced MRI brain scanning techniques.

We are looking for people who:

• are 15-25 years of age
• are eligible for MRI scans
• are not pregnant or possibly pregnant
• have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
• have been bullied at school
   

Brain scanning will take approximately 60 minutes. Other study components include completing diagnostic interviews, mental function (cognitive and behavioral) tests, and giving a saliva sample. Total participation will take about 5-6 hours.

You will be compensated for study components completed and receive up to $140.

The research study will be conducted at The University of Texas at Austin.
