It's my 8th year in the bipolar prechter longitudinal study. I had my yearly meeting today. Answered a million questions about how I've been feeling- including psychosis - the last 2 years. And I actually referred to my blog (mentally) several times so it was good that I read through it lately. Next time I have to give blood. They are looking at our DNA. This study is a big deal. We went through depression, hospital stays, sui, everything. Only bad part was they gave me horrible coffee. Lol

Could you share (some of) your DNA test results, if it's interesting?

I don't know what they are. I would like to know the study's results in general but they first were going to end it at 10 years and now it's indefinite.

You can ask for them. I'm sure they'd be willing to give them to you.

They'll publish articles even though it's ongoing, surely.

A newsletter doesn't get you funding. There will be articles they publish. Possibly different groups of people (at different institutions) doing their own analyses/research.

I'd contact them and say you're interested. They will probably like that (it's some kind of recognition).

They did say that the majority of their funding is from donations.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
