STUDY BASICS
Are you the parent of a mentally healthy 12-17 year old with no history of a psychiatric illness or family history of a psychotic disorder? Your child may be able to join a study to help researchers learn why some people experience confusion about what is real or imaginary, feel suspicious or paranoid, or have experiences that may not be real, such as hearing/seeing things that may not be there.
