MBT Perceptions Study
Summary
This project focuses on patients with depressive or bipolar disorder. The main goal is to identify their view and willingness towards trying different treatments. For example, changing the microorganisms in the human body. We will identify the patient's point of view towards these treatments. This will help us understand how we can work with their lived experiences to help them be more open to alternative treatments. In other words, the study focuses on alternatives to traditional care and exploring the connection between the mind and body.
