The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of sertraline to prevent the onset of mood and anxiety disorders during the first six months after traumatic brain injury.
This is a pilot project to study if repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) will benefit patients with bipolar depression safely. Based on published studies, this study hypothesizes that rTMS on the left dorsal prefrontal lobe will improve symptoms in some patients who have failed at least two medications.
Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Schizoaffective Disorder (SA) clients. - determine if after 12 months of treatment with clozapine, the BMI changes with clients who are councelled as usual regarding weight gain while on Clozapine. - determine if after 12 months of treatment with clozapine, the BMI changes with intense, structured councelling about diet and exercise.

Compliance with treatment is notoriously low in psychiatric patients. Traditional methods of monitoring compliance, however, may underreport nonadherence to treatment. In this study, actual plasma levels at admission - which are ROUTINELY taken at the Dept Psychiatry of the Paracelsus Medical University - were compared to plasma levels that can be expected from the prescribed preadmission dosing regimen. This was done to give treating psychiatrists a quantitatively precise idea of how frequently they can expect their patients to have plasma levels that are below the level of medication as intended by the prescribing physician.
Wellbutrin (bupropion) is an effective antidepressant (Thase, M 2005). It exists in instant release (IR), sustained release (SR) and extended release (XL) forms. The IR formulation was never approved for use in Canada. The XL formulation allows for once daily dosing. Wellbutrin is both a norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and as such increases the synaptic concentration of both neurotransmitters. This adds to its positive effects on cognition, apathy, tiredness and executive functioning. The increased activation may be also responsible for some of its side effects such as initial insomnia and reduced sleep efficiency, especially when taken at night.
The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the safety and potential efficacy of sustained-release bupropion (Zyban®) for the treatment of nicotine dependence in patients with bipolar affective illness. It is hypothesized that bupropion will produce a significant enhancement of smoking abstinence compared to placebo and will be safe for use in these patients.
The purpose of this study is to develop a new psychological therapy for a variety of different types of emotional disorders. The study will compare symptoms and functioning of clients who receive the treatment with those who do not, and will include a number of assessments before, during, and after treatment. We predict that patients receiving active treatment will show improved functioning relative to wait-list control.
To determine the convenience and satisfaction of new orally disintegrating tablet formulation (ODT) of lamictal in subjects with a mood disorder. This was a multicenter, open-label study in participants with a mood disorder, who reported difficulty or discomfort in swallowing the currently marketed IR compressed tablet formulation of lamotrigine and who had a person (such as a spouse, partner, companion, aid, nurse, caregiver, etc) willing to complete a Companion/Caregiver Question. Subjects were switched from the currently marketed lamotrigine IR formulation to a matching dose of lamotrigine IR orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) for 3 weeks to determine convenience and satisfaction.
