Filter by:Bipolar I disorder (BP-I) is a common, chronic, and disabling mental illness with significant morbidity and mortality defined by episodes of mania and depression (or symptoms of both at once, known as mixed features). This prospective, observational study will examine effectiveness, functioning and quality of life outcomes in adult patients with BP-I experiencing a major depressive episode (with or without mixed features) requiring treatment and initiating treatment with cariprazine. It will examine outcomes of cariprazine treatment in a real-world setting in patients with BP-I commonly seen in clinical practices. Cariprazine (Vraylar) is a medication indicated in the United States and Canada to treat adult patients experiencing manic, mixed or depressive episodes associated with BP-I. This study plans to enroll approximately 170 adult patients with BP-I from the United States and Canada. Cariprazine should be prescribed by the physician under the usual and customary practice of physician prescription. The decision to initiate treatment with cariprazine should be made prior to, and independently from, the patient's decision to participate in the study. Participants will receive cariprazine as prescribed by their physician. Observational data will be collected during visits which should align to routine standard of care for a duration of up to 24 weeks.
Bipolar I Disorder (BP1)is a severe chronic mood disorder characterized by manic and depression. BP1 has high probability of being misunderstood as unipolar major depressive disorder (MDD). The purpose of this study is to confirm Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) effectively classifies participants with BP1. Rapid Mood Screener (RMS) is a brief 6-item clinician-administered checklist, in which a participant's endorsement of four or more questions should trigger further clinical evaluation for BP1. Approximately 404 participants (303 with confirmed unipolar MDD and 101 with confirmed BP1) will be enrolled in the United States. Participants will be answering RMS questionnaire and accuracy will be measured against Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) interview.
To initiate a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) or ketogenic dietary (KD) intervention among a cohort of outpatients with bipolar illness who also have metabolic abnormalities, overweight/obesity, and/or are currently taking psychotropic medications experiencing metabolic side effects.
There is a lack of incentive approach for patients who suffer from schizophrenia yet lack the insight to accept treatment. Most existing approaches involve coercion and involuntary hospitalizations. This study will explore whether patients with poor insight and lacking in competence for treatment decisions will improve their acceptance and adherence of depot injection antipsychotic medication if a financial incentive is offered. Ethical considerations are also explored for this innovative pilot study
