Case Western Reserve University: Database funded to help researchers understand the effect of bipolar disorder throughout adult life span

Case Western Reserve University: Database funded to help researchers understand the effect of bipolar disorder throughout adult life span. “Not much is known about how bipolar disorder (BD) affects people throughout their lives. Do women and men differ in the severity of their symptoms? Does a person’s age when a bipolar diagnosis is made have any bearing on how severe the symptoms are? How do other medical conditions affect symptoms of BD across the life span? These questions and others like them are the focus of an international team of researchers, joined by Martha Sajatovic, professor of psychiatry and of neurology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, who has received a three-year, $600,000 grant from the International Society for Bipolar Disorders. She and her colleagues will develop the first-of-its-kind multi-national database that can be used to help researchers address questions about BD throughout the adult life span.”
