Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Bipolar disorder patients Patients who met the diagnostic criteria for bipolar disorder based on the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder" prepared by the American Psychiatric Association. The proband and two first-degree relatives of the proband, for a total of three people who can participate. Inpatient or outpatient is not required. The diagnosis will be made by clinical diagnostic interview and MINI. It does not matter if they are taking medication or not. First-degree relatives of bipolar disorder patients The proband is participating in this study. They are not schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. They will be screened by clinical interview and structural interview MINI. Healthy subjects Applicants who have not been found to have neurological or psychiatric disorders by clinical interview and MINI.
