Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Probably not a fit

Patients who are not in remission, have active acute psychiatric symptoms, or do not meet other inclusion criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This observational study examines adults with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder who are in remission and have emotional or metabolic concerns. Researchers will explore how mental state, sleep quality, and emotional eating interact to influence the risk of metabolic syndrome. The project will assess relationships between psychiatric diagnosis, medication groups, emotional eating levels, sleep measures, and metabolic outcomes to identify potential mediators. Findings could help inform strategies to reduce metabolic risk in individuals with severe mental illness.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could clarify targets for reducing metabolic syndrome risk by addressing sleep and emotional eating in psychiatric patients.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research has linked emotional eating, sleep disturbance, and metabolic risk in psychiatric populations, but this study aims to clarify causal pathways and mediation effects.
