This study aims to investigate the effects of the Switch intervention on motivation and associated processes and explore the dynamics between the processes. A single case approach is followed, with a pre-post and follow-up assessment design, and continuous ambulatory assessments (experience sampling method (ESM) and step count).

Effect Of Treatment Compliance Training Given To Patients With Bipolar Disorder

Quality of LifeTreatment Compliance

In bipolar disorder, treatment noncompliance is associated with high rates of recurrence and hospitalization. Furthermore, it is reported that that treatment noncompliance disturbs the social functioning of patients and reduces the quality of life. Improvement of the quality of life, social functioning and treatment compliance is as important as the long-term treatment of symptoms.This study aimed to determine the effect of treatment compliance training given to patients with bipolar disorder on treatment compliance, social functioning, and quality of life.

Novel Pharmacotherapy Approaches in Smokers With Serious Mental Illness

Bipolar DisorderSchizophrenia2 more

Approximately 60 chronic smokers with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who are motivated to try to quit smoking will be randomized to receive smoking cessation treatment with the FDA-approved medication, varenicline, delivered either a) at its standard dose and titration schedule (half of the participants) versus b) at a lower dose and slower titration schedule (the other half), for 12 weeks. All smokers will choose a target quit date sometime between 8 to 35 days after starting the medication. All participants will receive ten 30-minute sessions of a behavioral treatment called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Participants will be followed for an additional 12 weeks off study medication. The major endpoint is the feasibility of combining ACT with the different dosing strategies. Investigators will also conduct a blood test that measures the breakdown of nicotine in the body to explore whether that measure influences treatment response and side effects.

Feasibility Electrical Stimulation Study for Visual Hallucinations

SchizophreniaSchizoaffective Disorder1 more

The visual system has increasingly been recognized as an important site of injury in patients with schizophrenia and other psychoses. Visual system alterations manifest as visual perceptual aberrations, deficits in visual processing, and visual hallucinations. These visual symptoms are associated with worse symptoms, poorer outcome and resistance to treatment. A recent study using brain lesion mapping of visual hallucinations and identified a causal location in the part of the brain that processes visual information (visual cortex). The association between visual cortex activation and visual hallucinations suggests that this region could be targeted using noninvasive brain stimulation. Two case studies have found that brain stimulation to the visual cortex improved visual hallucinations in treatment resistant patients with psychosis. While promising it is unclear whether these symptom reductions resulted from activity changes in the visual cortex or not. Here we aim to answer the question whether noninvasive brain stimulation when optimally targeted to the visual cortex can improve brain activity, visual processing and visual hallucinations. The knowledge gained from this study will contribute to the field of vision by providing a marker for clinical response and by personalizing treatment for patients with psychosis suffering from visual symptoms. This grant will allow us to set the foundation for a larger more targeted study utilizing noninvasive brain stimulation to improve visual symptoms in patients with psychosis.

Technology Enhanced Family Treatment

Mood DisordersBipolar Disorder1 more

The investigators propose to enhance the scalability of family-focused therapy (FFT), a 12-session evidence-based therapy for youth at high risk for mood disorders, through augmentation with a novel mobile phone application called MyCoachConnect (MCC). In adolescents with mood instability who have a parent with bipolar or major depressive disorder, clinicians in community clinics will conduct FFT sessions (consisting of psychoeducation and family skills training) supplemented by weekly MCC "real time" assessments of moods and family relationships; based on results of these assessments and the family's progress in treatment, clinicians will then push personalized informational and coaching alerts regarding the practice of communication and problem-solving skills. The investigators hypothesize that the augmented version of FFT (FFT-MCC) will be more effective than FFT without coaching/informational alerts in altering treatment targets and in stabilizing youths' mood symptoms and quality of life.

Sequential Therapy for the Treatment of Severe Bipolar Depression.

Bipolar DepressionSuicidal Ideas3 more

NeuroRx is developing NRX-101, a fixed-dose combination oral capsule composed of d-cycloserine (DCS) and lurasidone for the maintenance of remission from Severe Bipolar Depression with Acute Suicidal Ideation (C-SSRS level 4 or 5) or Behavior (ASIB) in following initial stabilization. Patients with Severe Bipolar Depression and ASIB will be recruited in both inpatient and outpatient settings and, following informed consent, will be given an intravenous infusion of ketamine 0.5mg/kg over 40 minutes. Those who exhibit a satisfactory clinical response to ketamine will be randomly allocated to NRX-101 or to lurasidone alone (the comparator group). This study is conducted as a feasibility study for a pivotal phase 2b/3 clinical trial and the primary outcomes for this phase 2 study were blood levels of NRX-101, in order to confirm pharmaco-kinetics with remission from depression, as measured by BISS-derived MADRS and relapse as secondary outcomes.

Melancholic Symptoms in Bipolar Depression and Responsiveness to Lamotrigine

DepressionBipolar Disorder3 more

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with melancholic bipolar II depression are more responsive to lamotrigine than patients with non-melancholic bipolar II depression. To do this, the investigators will re-analyze a previous clinical trial that evaluated lamotrigine as a treatment for bipolar II depression (GSK-SCA100223; NCT00274677).

Triple Chronotherapy in Adolescents

Depressive DisorderMajor2 more

Study Purpose This study is a randomized controlled trial examining the effectiveness of TCT in the acute treatment of depression and suicidality in adolescents compared to usual treatment care, which includes individual and group therapy, and medication adjustments. All potential participants will be identified at admission to the Psychiatric Youth Inpatient Unit of Billings Clinic and invited to participate. The length of participation is 2 months. Study Design The primary research question of this RCT is whether adjunctive TCT in depressed adolescents is more effective in the management of depression symptoms and in reducing suicidal ideation at two months follow-up, than those adolescents who are receiving usual care. A total of three aims are proposed. Hypothesis: Adjunctive TCT is more effective in the management of depression symptoms and in reducing suicidal ideation at two month follow-up than those adolescents who are receiving usual care. The first aim is to track the trajectories of depression symptoms, suicidal ideation, and insomnia severity in participants receiving TCT and in those receiving treatment as usual over 4 days of initial treatment, thereby answering the question of whether adjunctive TCT can effectively reduce the severity of depression, insomnia and suicidal ideation. The second aim is to examine whether TCT is more effective than usual care in sustaining treatment effects to the end of study period (2 months follow-up), therefore answering the question whether the effectiveness of the 4-day intervention of adjunctive TCT arm is sustainable up to the end of a two-month follow-up. Hypothesis: TCT is more effective than usual care in sustaining treatment effects to the end of the study period than usual care. The third aim is to assess the link to the clinical outcomes (change in depression symptoms, suicidal ideation, insomnia severity, and disease-associated quality of life) and patient satisfaction with the treatment. Hypothesis: Clinical outcomes (depression symptoms, suicidal ideation, insomnia, and disease-related quality of life) and patient satisfaction are more effective than usual care alone.
