Scientists scan brains to see why bipolar disorder and alcohol often mix

NCT ID NCT04063384

Summary

This study aimed to understand why people with bipolar disorder are at much higher risk for alcohol problems. Researchers gave alcohol or a placebo drink to 60 young adults (half with bipolar disorder, half healthy) and used brain scans and surveys to measure how they felt and how their brains reacted. The goal was to gather knowledge about the brain's role in this risk, not to test a treatment.
