What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of severity of manic symptoms before and after treatment

    We will use Young Mania Rating Scale._Young Mania Rating Scale:assess severity of manic symptoms, clinician rated,<=12(remission)13_19(minimal symptoms)20_25(mild mania)26_37(moderate mania)38_60 severe mania

    Measured: One year for completion of the study

  2. Comparison of the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis.

    We will use Clinical Global Impression Severity Scale._Clinical Global Impression Severity Scale:rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment relative to the clinician's past experience with patients who have the same diagnosis,1 normal not at all ill,2 borderline mentally ill,3 mildly ill,4 moderately ill,5 markedly ill,6 severely ill,7 extremely ill

    Measured: One year for completion of the study

  3. Comparison of severity and impact of insomnia before and after treatment

    We will use Insomnia Severity Index scale._Insomnia Severity Index:assess the nature, severity and impact of insomnia,0_7(absence insomnia) 8_14(subthreshold insomnia)15_21(moderate insomnia)22_28(severe insomnia)

    Measured: One year for completion of the study

  4. Comparison of depressive symptoms before and after treatment

    We will use Hamilton Depression Rating Scale._Hamilton Depression Rating Scale:assess the severity of depressive symptoms, clinician rated,0_7(normal range)8_16(mild severity)17_23(moderate severity)>23(severe depression)

    Measured: One year for completion of the study
