The Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, which is affiliated with the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is seeking research participants, ages 15-65. If you suffer from Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, or Bipolar Disorder with psychosis, you could be eligible for the study. However, you need to have at least one biological first-degree family member (mother, father, siblings or children) to participate the study. They will do the same testing as you.

Family members do not have to suffer from mental health symptoms to participate. The overall goal of this research is to improve our understanding about the biological causes of these illnesses so that we can develop better treatments to improve and eventually restore the lives of patients who suffer with them.

Participants should not have a serious medical or neurological illness. They also must not be currently abusing drugs or have an extensive history of drug use. All eligible participants will undergo a clinical interview and several lab tests. The lab tests include a urine screen, blood sample, eye movement assessments, cognitive assessment, EEG, and an MRI.

We are located in Catonsville, Maryland. Transportation can be provided if needed. All participants will be compensated for their time.
