NCT ID NCT03336918
Summary
This study aims to understand how lithium, a common treatment for bipolar disorder, changes the brain's wiring and activity. Researchers will use MRI brain scans on about 120 people with bipolar depression and healthy volunteers over 26 weeks to see how brain connections shift with lithium treatment. The goal is to link these brain changes to improvements in depression symptoms and mood stability.
