Adjunctive Psychotherapy for Perinatal Bipolar Disorder

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Bipolar Disorder

In brief

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a serious, disabling, and highly recurrent illness. The perinatal period dramatically increases risk for mood episodes in women with BD, but pregnancy complicates pharmacologic treatment decisions and efficacy. This study will be the first to systematically develop and pilot test an adjunctive psychosocial intervention to assist in treatment of BD during the high-risk perinatal period.
