Self-Induced Mania Methods and Motivations Reported in Online Forums: Observational Qualitative Study

Self-Induced Mania Methods and Motivations Reported in Online Forums: Observational Qualitative Study

Mania can appear independently, leading to unipolar mania [12,13]. However, it typically appears against the backdrop of preexisting depression that may or may not have received a formal diagnosis [12]. Mania is characterized by relatively rapid onset and offset making it possible to discern proximal precipitating factors for exacerbations or improvements. One consideration is that the external trigger factor may be obscured by prodromal symptoms [14].

Direct and Indirect Predictors of Medication Adherence With Bipolar Disorder: Path Analysis

Direct and Indirect Predictors of Medication Adherence With Bipolar Disorder: Path Analysis

Existing research suggests that predictors of poor medication adherence with BD include severity and type of symptoms (both depression and hypo/mania; hypomania + mania = hypo/mania: a continuum where the point of transition is not always apparent), various sociodemographic factors (eg, education), substance misuse, medication regimen, and therapeutic relationship [10-13].

Cost-Utility and Cost-effectiveness of MoodSwings 2.0, an Internet-Based Self-management Program for Bipolar Disorder: Economic Evaluation Alongside a Randomized Controlled Trial

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a complex mental health condition with multiple and varying states ranging from elevated mood (mania or hypomania) to feelings of hopelessness and sadness (depression) [1]. It consists of several related diagnoses representing a spectrum of illness, including bipolar type I, bipolar type II, cyclothymia, and bipolar not elsewhere classified.

Social Media Use and Well-being With Bipolar Disorder During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Path Analysis

Social Media Use and Well-being With Bipolar Disorder During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Path Analysis

It has been shown, for instance, that greater contact with friends and family fosters well-being with BD [2], and those with less social support report more symptoms of mania [3]. The perceived absence of social support is associated with the recurrence of BD mood episodes [4] and slower time to recovery [5]. Isolation and disruption in routine caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have been especially difficult for those with mental health conditions.

A Smartphone-Based Self-management Intervention for Individuals With Bipolar Disorder (LiveWell): Protocol Development for an Expert System to Provide Adaptive User Feedback

Bipolar disorder is a severe mental illness characterized by episodes of mania, hypomania, depression, and mixed states [1,2]. Pharmacotherapy is the primary treatment for bipolar disorder, but even when pharmacological treatment is initially effective, high rates of episode recurrence, interepisode symptoms, and psychosocial impairment persist [3-7].

Predicting Mood Disturbance Severity with Mobile Phone Keystroke Metadata: A BiAffect Digital Phenotyping Study

What is less clear is why the backspace rate would be negatively correlated with mania symptoms without a concomitant positive correlation with the autocorrect rate. One possibility is that the lower backspace usage seen with higher mania scores reflects a phenomenon of less self-monitoring or impaired response inhibition with errors.

Clinical Insight Into Latent Variables of Psychiatric Questionnaires for Mood Symptom Self-Assessment

Clinical Insight Into Latent Variables of Psychiatric Questionnaires for Mood Symptom Self-Assessment

BD is characterized by recurrent alternating periods of elated mood (known as mania or hypomania, depending on symptom severity) and depression, which is usually more common [15]. Symptom-free periods in BD are known as euthymia. Symptom management is typically achieved using long-term medication [16], including mood stabilizers and antipsychotics [15].
