Therapy to improve daily routine and social patterns in bipolar disorder

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗OA ↗

Updated

Abstract

Two large controlled trials support (IPSRT) for bipolar disorder.

  • Bipolar disorder frequently recurs, which may be linked to noncompliance with treatment and stressful life events.
  • IPSRT focuses on stabilizing daily routines to help maintain a stable emotional state.
  • The therapy is effective as both an acute intervention and a preventive treatment for bipolar I and II disorders.
  • IPSRT incorporates therapeutic methods that emphasize the circadian basis of daily rhythms.
