This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research study is examining how people with bipolar disorder and depression think, remember, and understand social situations—even when their mood symptoms are stable. Researchers want to understand whether differences in these cognitive abilities could help doctors better distinguish between these two conditions and improve treatment plans.
Bipolar disorder and depression are often confused with each other, leading to delays in proper diagnosis and care. Even when patients feel stable between episodes, they may still struggle with thinking, memory, and social skills. By identifying the specific thinking patterns that differ between these two conditions, researchers hope to help doctors diagnose faster and provide better support.

If you join this study, you will complete a series of cognitive tests and tasks that measure how you think, remember, and recognize emotions—similar to what you might do in a psychology appointment. The study also includes groups of healthy volunteers and family members of people with bipolar disorder so researchers can compare results. You will not be taking any new medication; instead, you'll be tested to help scientists better understand how these mood disorders affect the brain.
