Join a groundbreaking new study from Professor Eli Somer’s research team

Are you ready to turn your personal experience with Maladaptive Daydreaming (MD) into scientific progress?  
We’re inviting members of the MD community to take part in exciting new research conducted in Eli Somer’s lab.
This study, approved by the University’s Ethics Committee, explores how childhood family experiences, attachment styles, and personality traits may be linked to MD. 
We need your voice in understanding this complex and often misunderstood condition.

Why Your Participation Matters

Thanks to the heartfelt involvement of MDers like you, our research has helped move MD from obscurity to growing scientific recognition. Together, we’ve laid the groundwork for awareness, validation, and future treatment. This is your chance to continue that journey—by contributing to what could be one of the most illuminating studies on MD to date.

 

What’s Involved?

Just a few online questionnaires—completely confidential, easy to complete. You’ll be asked about your daydreaming, your relationships, and your early life experiences.

 

Be Part of the Change

Whether you’re passionate about advancing science or simply want to help others who share your experience, your input is invaluable.
