Mental Imagery and Mood in People with Bipolar Disorder, Depression and Anxiety Disorders

 

We are looking for participants aged 35+ who are currently experiencing an anxiety disorder or depression to take part in a study investigating thinking styles and mental processes. We hope that what we learn from this programme of research will, where appropriate, be used to improve the care of patients.

 

What does the study involve?

A visit to the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit during which you would first be asked some standardised questions about your current and past mood and some other mental health difficulties. If you are eligible following the assessment session, we would then ask you to complete the remaining research tasks which consist of questionnaires to do with your mood, behaviour and use of imagery, a short interview specifically asking about imagery and some computer based tasks.

 

All information is kept strictly confidential and you are free to withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason. This study has been approved by an NHS Ethics committee.
