Bipolar Disorder Research Study
An Australian study is attempting to use the internet as a tool for people with bipolar disorder to monitor mood swings and hopefully control the disease. This 12 month study will include 300 participants with bipolar disorder utilizing a specialized internet program to monitor their moods and receive advice on their individualized scores. "We think constant support and advice online will help balance things out and make people feel like they're becoming an expert in their own illness," said Dr. Barnes of Sydneys Black Dog Institute.
