The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of cariprazine monotherapy versus placebo for the treatment of acute manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder.
The study will determine if individuals with co-occurring bipolar disorder and alcohol dependence report reduced alcohol consumption, improvement in mood symptoms, and cognitive performance if treated with lamotrigine plus their usual mood stabilizing medications relative to subjects treated with placebo plus usual mood stabilizing medications over a 16 week period.
The purpose of this study is to see if taking a substance called omega-3 fatty acids is effective, safe, and well-tolerated for treating adolescents with major depressive disorder (also called simply "depression" or "clinical depression"). Another purpose of this study is to see how much omega-3 fatty acids are in a patient's blood and if that makes the patient more or less likely to develop mania (i.e. periods of irritability or extreme silliness accompanied by decreased need for sleep, risky behaviors, feeling like the patient has special abilities, inability to sit still, and rapid speech) in the future. Yet another purpose of this study is to see how taking omega-3 fatty acids affect brain scans. Omega-3 fatty acids are not United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved to treat depression in adults or in children and adolescents. Omega-3 fatty acids can only be obtained through diet, most often from fish and other sea foods, though they are also found in other food sources such as flax seed. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to play a role in affecting brain chemicals responsible for regulating mood and have been found to reduce symptoms of depression in medicated-patients with major depressive disorder. By completing this study, the investigators hope to better understand who benefits from treatment, why they do or do not respond to medications, and who is at greater risk for developing further mental illness. With this information, the investigators hope to be able to improve treatment and outcome in people with major depressive disorder.
Specific Aim 1: To determine the effects of treatment with quetiapine or lithium on brain activation in adolescents. The investigators will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine brain activation during an attentional task. Specific Aim 2: To determine the effects of treatment with quetiapine or lithium on neurometabolite measures, early in their illness course. The investigators will use 1H-MRS to identify myo-inositol (mI), N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), and glutamate (Glu) levels in prefrontal ALN regions. Specific Aim 3: To determine the relationships among the changes in brain activation and neurometabolite measures, as well as symptomatic improvement in manic adolescents.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of allopurinol as an augmentation agent for the prevention of mania in bipolar disorder patients with currently stable mood.
To assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of intramuscular ziprasidone in the treatment of the acute exacerbation of non-organic psychosis of any etiology, including schizophrenia, acute mania, delusional disorder and others.
The primary aims of this study are to assess: 1. The inter-rater and test-retest reliability of the MINI-KID 2. The validity of the standard MINI-KID interview in relation to the parent rated pencil/paper version (MINI-KID-P) and th longer clinician rated "Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged Children-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL) and "expert opinion" (when available). Secondary aims will include evaluating the concordance between: The Children's Global Assessment Scale (a required part of the K-SADS) with the clinician-rated Sheehan Disability Scale (to be administered with the MINI-KID) as a measure of illness severity.
This study aims to evaluate the potential antimanic efficacy, safety and tolorability of the purinergic agents allopurinol and dipyridamole as an add-on treatment to lithium in a sample of 180 drug-free manic patients enrolled in a double-blind, placebo-controlled design.
With this observational study we want to examine if the intensity of agitation, the intensity of psychotic symptoms and the presence of sleeping disorder predict the success of the treatment with a atypical antipsychotic after 12 weeks of treatment with patients with a psychotic and/or manic episode. In this study it will be examined what the percentage of patients with a 2-point improvement at the CGI-scale is. Of these group, the responders, retrospective the profile of the responders will be analysed (key-factors and confounders). PLEASE NOTE: Seroquel SR and Seroquel XR refer to the same formulation. The SR designation was changed to XR after consultation with FDA.
