MRI is an exciting new tool that does not involve radiation. Participants receive free diagnostic evaluation and brain imaging. There is payment for participation in this study. We are also looking for children 9 to 18 years old, who do not have a psychiatric disorder or a family history of bipolar disorder for brain imaging. These participants are also paid.
Participants receive free evaluation, medication, and treatment for duration of the study.
Participants must not have had prior treatment with Depakote. If you have any more questions, please visit the website for the Bipolar Disorders Clinic at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
