Brief Summary

This project will investigate how review of collateral information sources (CIS) may impact clinical decision-making across the lifespan.

Detailed Description

This study aims to explore how reviewing collateral information sources (CIS) may affect clinical decision-making for clinicians treating participants with varied mood disorders.
