Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults diagnosed with bipolar disorder who can consent, answer study questionnaires, and are scheduled to receive olanzapine are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
People who are pregnant, breastfeeding, not taking olanzapine, or unable to complete the surveys are unlikely to benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is an observational study following people with bipolar disorder who are scheduled to start olanzapine to characterize real-world treatment patterns and outcomes. Participants will provide informed consent, complete surveys, and receive education about olanzapine-associated weight gain while investigators collect clinical and demographic data. The study will compare weight and related outcomes over time between those who receive the educational information and baseline measures. Data will be analyzed to identify factors associated with treatment choices and the effectiveness of the educational approach in preventing weight gain.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help clinicians reduce olanzapine-related weight gain and improve medication tolerability and adherence.
How similar studies have gone: Previous research has consistently shown olanzapine causes weight gain, and behavioral or educational interventions have shown mixed but sometimes positive effects on limiting weight gain.
