The Cal Mania (CALM) Program at UC Berkeley is conducting multiple research studies on bipolar disorder.
1) In one study, the purpose is to examine day/night rhythms in how people pursue goals and rewards. For example, some people tend to be excited and motivated to go after goals in the evening, others tend to be more motivated in the morning— we are interested in how these daily rhythms may differ for people who have bipolar disorder.
To study this, we ask people to rate their mood, answer questions about the activities they are involved in, and play short games on their cell phone a few times per day for two weeks. We may also invite you to complete an MRI brain scan at the UC Berkeley campus.
2) In another study, we will compare the benefits of two approaches to eating: Mediterranean and Eating by the Clock. This study is the largest research study ever conducted on how dietary interventions, when added to medication, might help people with bipolar disorder. Neither food plan is meant to be a diet or treatment and will be randomly chosen for you. In this study, we ask you to consume the same amount of food that you normally would and to continue your regular care for bipolar disorder.
Our goal is to understand not only if the intervention helps, but also a very broad range of the ways in which it may help, including when it does and does not help. We're looking for people who are already receiving medical care for bipolar disorder who will help us understand this important set of goals by sharing their experiences with us. This study will involve many different questions because we sincerely want to deeply understand each person's experience during this study.
Those who take part in either study will be paid at a rate of $25/hour for time completing assessments. If you are interested in participating in either of these studies, please visit our website to learn more: https://calm.berkeley.edu/?source_tag=craigslist&zip_tag=60601
