Are you between the ages of 12 and 30, and have you noticed any recent changes in your thinking, behavior, or experiences? If so, you may be eligible to participate in a study.

  • Are you experiencing confusion about what's real or imaginary?
  • Do you feel like you can't control your own thoughts or have difficulty communicating clearly?

    • Feeling suspicious or paranoid
