"Identifying cognitive and psychosocial factors that influence mood disorders enables us to gain a better understanding of how those factors influence risk and resiliency as well as offers the opportunity to develop early identification markers that could provide additional interventions to help mitigate the long-term effects of these disorders. I am forever grateful for the research participants who share their life stories with us in order to help improve the lives of many who suffer from bipolar disorder."
