Internet-Based Interventions for Bipolar Disorder (MoodSwings 2)

Bipolar Disorder Clinical Trial

Official title: 1/2-A Randomized Trial of Internet-Based Interventions for Bipolar Disorder

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will examine if there is a benefit of an online intervention for persons with bipolar diagnoses, and what components appear to be most useful.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will examine whether exposure to the three different components of the MoodSwings 2.0 intervention results in decreased depressive symptoms as measured by the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and decreased manic symptoms as measured by the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS). The three components of the MoodSwings 2.0 intervention are:

• Moderated peer discussion board

• Psychoeducation learning modules

• Interactive psychosocial tools

This study will also examine whether there is an association between graduated levels of involvement and resulting improvement. These graduated levels are:

• Moderated peer discussion board only (Level 1)

• Moderated peer discussion board and psychoeducation learning modules (Level 2)

• Moderated peer discussion board, psychoeducation learning modules and interactive psychosocial tools (Level 3).

We expect that those participants assigned to the control condition (Level 1), will have fewer positive outcomes than those in Level 2 or Level 3 conditions. ;
