A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating IPSRT plus placebo (IPSRT-PLA) and IPSRT plus quetiapine for Bipolar Disorder and Depression. Completed, enrolled 92 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This proposed study is designed to compare the efficacy of interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) alone to IPSRT plus medication as an acute treatment for bipolar II depression. The investigators propose to conduct a randomized, controlled, trial comparing the effects of IPSRT plus pill placebo to IPSRT plus quetiapine on depressive symptoms in individuals suffering from Bipolar II depression. The investigators will also examine the impact of treatment on psychosocial function.
