Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Individuals over 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (per their own report; no screening will be performed), and/or the adult siblings of affected individuals. Participants do not have to be sibling pairs, i.e., an affected individual may be included without the participation of their unaffected sibling, and visa versa. Participants must be able to speak English fluently.
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
- Those under 18 years of age will not be included. First-degree relatives other than full siblings will not be included. If a participant is symptomatic to the point that the interview is compromised, as determined by the PI who has considerable experience counseling affected individuals, the PI will end the interview and any data collected will be destroyed. If possible, the interview will be rescheduled. We will encourage symptomatic individuals to seek care from their mental health provider, or we will make a referral if the individual does not have a provider.
