Optimising treatments for bipolar disorder

Researchers at the University of New South Wales and Black Dog Institute are conducting a project looking at medications for bipolar disorder.

By hearing your personal stories about your journeys through treatment, we hope to be able to improve the lives of individuals with bipolar disorder by making recommendations for better treatment decisions.

 

The research study is looking to recruit people who meet the following criteria:

  • Are 18 years of age or older.

  • Are fluent speakers of English.

  • Have received a diagnosis of bipolar I or bipolar II disorder in the last 1-5 years.


In addition, participants will also need to be taking or have previously taken at least one of the following medications:

  • Carbamazepine (i.e., Tegretol, Temporol)

  • Lamotrigine (i.e., Lamictal)

  • Lithium (i.e., Quilonum)

  • Sodium Valproate (i.e., Divalproex, Depakote, Epilim)


Participants will be asked to complete an online survey that should take 60 minutes on average. You will be asked about your treatment history, experiences with bipolar disorder, lifestyle factors, and demographic details. The survey will be completely anonymous.
