What this trial studies
This observational study investigates Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) in patients with euthymic bipolar disorder, aiming to identify different clusters of EMS and their relationship with clinical characteristics and neuropsychological performance. Data will be collected from the Versailles Expert Center for Bipolar Disorder over a period of 24 months, with assessments at baseline, 12 months, and 24 months. The study also seeks to quantify the impact of EMS on psychosocial functioning, taking into account cognitive factors and residual depressive symptoms.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals diagnosed with bipolar disorder who are currently in a stable, euthymic state.
Not a fit: Patients experiencing major depressive, manic, or hypomanic episodes during evaluation will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of how EMS affect functioning in bipolar disorder, potentially leading to improved therapeutic strategies.
How similar studies have performed: While few studies have focused on EMS in bipolar disorder, the approach of examining their impact on functioning is relatively novel and underexplored.
