Do You Have a Diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder?

The Monash Alfred Psychiatry Research Centre (MAPrc) and the Brain and Psychological Sciences Research Centre (BPsyC) at Swinburne University are inviting participants to take part in research investigating the causes and consequences of emotion abnormalities in bipolar disorder.  You will be required to attend two 4-hour sessions at the Alfred hospital in Melbourne to complete questionnaires, a short interview and a number of non-invasive cognitive and emotion tasks. You will be reimbursed for your time and participation at $50 per session.
