Purpose of Study
The purpose of this study is to test a novel psychoeducational intervention for individuals at high risk for bipolar disorder (BD). BD affects over two per cent of the population and is commonly based on self-reported history of (hypo)manic episodes that are frequently underreported. This can result in a substantial delay in the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment initiation of BD which is linked to poor clinical and functional outcomes. To help address this, the study team has developed a prototype manualized telehealth-based group psychoeducational program for those at high risk for BD.
Eligibility
You may be eligible to participate in this study if you:
- are between the ages of 15 and 24 years old
- are able to understand and communicate in English
- have a family history of bipolar disorder or are having challenges with problematic mood changes
You are not eligible to participate in this study if you:
- have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder
- have significant alcohol or substance use disorder
- are currently severely depressed or actively suicidal
