Abstract

One-year pre-post findings indicate that group Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) is effective in reducing depressive symptoms in patients with bipolar disorder.

  • Group IPSRT may lead to a reduction in the number of hospital admissions for patients.
  • Increased stability of social rhythms is associated with potentially fewer mood episode recurrences.
  • This approach could serve as an additional treatment option for patients experiencing ongoing mood episodes despite current therapies.
