This is one of the very cool @trr393.bsky.social projects 👇

In the light of #worldbipolarday, Prof. Dr. Dr. Michael Bauer, the #sfbtrr393 local spokesperson at @tudresden.bsky.social was interviewed about current developments in #bipolardisorder research:

That’s why we aim to find out how environmental, psychosocial, and (neuro)biological factors predict symptom changes through a variety of projects, including real-time phone assessments📱, mri 🧠, human-animal tandem projects 🐀 & innovative interventions👫

~20% of adults experience an affective disorder (e.g. depression, bipolar disorder) in their lifetime. Symptoms often occur in phases, with months to years in between and chronic negative effects on a person’s well-being. Still, it is not well understood what provokes, improves, or worsens them. 📈📉❓
