Study Notes
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Bipolar Disorder
- The first randomized controlled trial (RCT) on CBT for bipolar disorder was conducted by Cochrane in 1984.
- Numerous studies since indicate CBT's effectiveness in treating bipolar disorder.
- Lam et al. (2003, 2005) conducted one of the largest RCTs demonstrating CBT's efficacy in relapse prevention.
- Patients receiving CBT alongside minimal psychiatric care experienced significantly fewer manic and depressive episodes compared to those receiving only psychiatric care.
- CBT interventions emphasized symptom monitoring, lifestyle adjustments (e.g., sleep regulation), and managing extreme goal-pursuit behaviors.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)
- Perich et al. (2013) conducted an RCT evaluating MBCT's effectiveness for anxiety symptoms often comorbid with bipolar disorder.
- The study highlighted significant benefits, positioning MBCT as a valuable adjunct therapy in managing bipolar disorder.
Family-Focused Therapy (FFT)
- FFT has been validated through RCTs, proving effective in reducing relapse rates by enhancing family communication and problem-solving skills.
- An RCT by Miklowitz et al. (2003) demonstrated that patients undergoing FFT experienced fewer relapses compared to those who received brief psychoeducation.
Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT)
- An RCT by Frank et al. (2005) revealed that IPSRT, which focuses on stabilizing daily routines and social rhythms, was superior to standard management in preventing relapses during the acute phase of bipolar disorder treatment.
