Kids can help scientists understand the mind. This 12-week outpatient study is enrolling children ages 8 to 17 without serious medical conditions. The study looks at children with mood and anxiety disorders, and children without these disorders.
The study investigates how the brain changes during computer-based activities, and how breathing patterns and emotions are related. Procedures include psychological interviews, a physical exam, lab work, and brain scans (MRI).
There is no cost to participate. Compensation is provided. Parent(s) and child must consent to participate. The study is conducted at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, MD, and families must live within 50 miles of NIH. Transportation expenses are reimbursed.
