       Description:
       If you (or someone you know) have been diagnosed with bipolar
       disorder, you may be able to participate in a trial designed to
       understand the causes of depression and rapid antidepressant
       response. Specifically, we are testing whether ketamine, a drug
       that affects glutamate in the brain will improve symptoms of
       depression within a matter of hours. If you are 18-60 years of
       age and have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and previously
       failed to respond to treatment, you may be eligible for an
       inpatient trial designed to bring about a rapid antidepressant
       effect. After completion of the study the participant is
       transitioned back to a clinician in the community. In addition,
       all research participation is without cost and we will cover all
       transportation costs from anywhere in the United States.
       Compensation is provided for study procedures. To find out if
       you qualify or for more information, please call 1-877-MIND-NIH
       (1-877-646-3644) or email us at moodresearch@mail.nih.gov .
