Healthy Lifestyles for Bipolar Disorder Research Study
This international online study will compare the benefits of two approaches to eating: Mediterranean and Time-Restricted Eating. Neither food plan is meant to be a diet or a treatment. In this study, you will be asked to consume the same amount of food that you normally would and to continue your regular medical care for bipolar disorder.
Those who take part in the study will be paid at a rate of $25/hour for their time completing assessments. More details/sign up:
This study looking into how TRE or Mediterranean Diets might affect Bipolar Disorder or Mania is very important. Fantastic that a large Randomised Controlled Trial is being conducted that will determine whether or not these diets, which are of proven value in other medical conditions, has any merit in Bipolar Disorder . This is of particular interest to me as I have this and get frequent periods of depression, which have seriously affected my quality of life. Uncontrollable rapid cycling led to medical retirement from a career in hospital laboratory medicine at age forty one. I had an unsuccessful Anterior Cingulotomy In London and my Treatment Resistant Depression is now managed with bilateral ECT – ultrabrief unilateral ECT having failed.
I am certainly very keen to see the results of this RCT, seeing dietary modifications as being a lifestyle modification within a patients’ control . I am extremely grateful that your research group has developed this RCT which has the statistical power to look at the impact of dietary modification.
