In a previous meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing lithium with placebo as long-term treatment in bipolar disorders, we observed clear preventative effect for manic episodes; however, the was equivocal depressive episodes. Since then, evidence base has grown further. this update, furthermore present data on efficacy comparison to alternative drug treatments. addition, analyze and other treatments regarding drop-outs due reasons than mood episode completion study (no no...
The management and treatment of patients with suicidal behavior is one the most challenging tasks for health-care professionals. Patients affective disorders are at high risk behavior, therefore, should be a target prevention. Numerous international studies lithium use have documented anti-suicidal effects since 1970s. Despite unambiguous evidence lithium's recommendations in national guidelines its acute maintenance therapy disorders, still underrepresented. following article provides...
Objective: To investigate how the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) changes health outcomes, lifestyle behaviors, and care service utilization over a 6 month period. Method: The participants were 1,170 adults enrolled in National Study of CDSMP 2010-2012 ( M age = 65.4 years). Six-month assessments available for 903 participants. Linear mixed models generalized linear used to assess between baseline 6-month assessment primary secondary outcomes among Results: Social/role...
Concerns about potential adverse effects of long-term exposure to lithium as a mood-stabilizing treatment notably include altered renal function. However, the incidence severe dysfunction; rate decline over time; dose, serum concentration, and duration treatment; relative vs. aging; contributions sex other factors all remain unclear.Accordingly, we acquired data from 12 collaborating international sites 312 bipolar disorder patients (6142 person-years, 2669 assays) treated with carbonate for...
Abstract Lithium is regarded as the first-line treatment for bipolar disorder (BD), a severe and disabling mental health that affects about 1% of population worldwide. Nevertheless, lithium not consistently effective, with only 30% patients showing favorable response to treatment. To provide personalized options patients, it essential identify prediction biomarkers such polygenic scores. In this study, we developed score (Li + PGS ) in BD. gain further insights into lithium’s possible...
Digital phenotyping promises to unobtrusively obtaining a continuous and objective input of symptomatology from patients' daily lives. The prime example are bipolar disorders, as smartphone parameters directly reflect symptomatology. Empirical studies, however, have yielded inconsistent findings. We believe that three main shortcomings be addressed fully leverage the potential digital phenotyping: short assessment periods, rare outcome assessments, an extreme fragmentation without...
Information seeking is an important coping mechanism for dealing with chronic illness. Despite a growing number of mental health websites, there little understanding how patients bipolar disorder use the Internet to seek information. A 39 question, paper-based, anonymous survey, translated into 12 languages, was completed by 1222 in 17 countries as convenience sample between March 2014 and January 2016. All had diagnosis from psychiatrist. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics...
Abstract Sleep spindles are neurophysiological phenomena that appear to be linked memory formation and other functions of the central nervous system, can observed in electroencephalographic recordings (EEG) during sleep. Manually identified spindle annotations EEG suffer from substantial intra- inter-rater variability, even if raters have been highly trained, which reduces reliability measures as a research diagnostic tool. The Massive Online Data Annotation (MODA) project has recently...
Abstract Background Individuals with bipolar disorder are commonly correctly diagnosed a decade after symptom onset. Machine learning techniques may aid in early recognition and reduce the disease burden. As both individuals at risk those manifest display structural brain markers, magnetic resonance imaging provide relevant classification features. Methods Following pre-registered protocol, we trained linear support vector machine (SVM) to classify according their estimated for using...
Abstract Background Increased autocorrelation (AR) of system-specific measures has been suggested as a predictor for critical transitions in complex systems. AR mood scores reported to anticipate depressive episodes major disorder, while other studies found increases be associated with themselves. Data on patients bipolar disorders (BD) is limited and inconclusive. Methods Patients BD their current via daily e-diaries 12 months. Current affective status (euthymic, prodromal, depressed,...
