Study Treatment/s Diagnosis Results

Over 18 mo, there were no group

differences in recurrence,
DSM-IV Bipolar
duration of illness episodes or
CBT plus treatment Disorder I and II with mean symptom severity between

Scott et al.(2006) as usual v/s about a third patients in CBT v/s TAU. CBT was
medication alone currently in episode
(mostly depressed) effective in delaying recurrences
in patients with FEWER prior
episodes, < 12.

Participants who received CBT
CBT added to PE + Bipolar I (66%) or II had reduced depressive
Zaretsky et al. MSM versus PE + (34%) in full or partial symptoms, 50% fewer depressed

(2008)
MSM remission days, and fewer medication
increases.
