Purpose

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the cause and course of certain neuropsychiatric disorders, including Tourette's Syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Conduct Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Affective Disorders (depression, bipolar disorder, etc.). We hope to accomplish this goal through the use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is a safe, non-invasive method of taking pictures of the brain. We also ask participants to complete a set of games and puzzles and a set of interviews to provide information to be used alongside the information we gain from the MRI scans.
