About this study

Official title: Exploratory Study of a Vestibular Biomarker of Phase in Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar Disorder show cyclic changes of mood between depression (depressive phase) and mania (maniac phase). Vestibular tests have been shown high sensibility and specificity as a biological marker for major depression.
