STUDY NOW OPEN INTERNATIONALLY
Help to compare Mediterranean Diet vs. Time-Restricted Eating for bipolar disorder.
The Healthy Lifestyles for Bipolar Disorder Research Study is an international online study comparing the benefits of two approaches to eating: Mediterranean and Time-Restricted Eating. Neither food plan is meant to be a diet or a treatment. In this study, you will be asked to consume the same amount of food that you normally would and to continue your regular medical care for bipolar disorder. Those who take part in the study will be paid at a rate of $25/hour for their time completing assessments.
