Study on Suicidal Behavior in Bipolar Disorder
This study is looking into environmental and psychological factors that contribute to suicidal thoughts and behaviors in people with Bipolar Disorder. It also aims to find effective treatments to reduce these behaviors and improve quality of life. You might be eligible if you are 18-64 years old, speak English, and have a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. The study is testing four different group-based therapies: Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (ISRT), Bipolar-Specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Psycho-education & Understanding Bipolar Medications Therapy. The main goal is to see how these therapies affect suicidal thoughts and behaviors, measured by a scale called the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) score. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) ScorePre-intervention, Post-intervention (Up to six weeks)
Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS; Posner et al., 2011) serves as the outcome measure, which assesses the constructs of suicidal behavior (i.e., actual, aborted, or interrupted attempts), severity, and lethality. Although suicidal behavior is the primary outcome of interest, suicidal ideation (passive, active, intensity) will also be assessed by the C-SSRS. The C-SSRS has four constructs relevant to recent suicidal ideation (SI): 1) severity (1=wish to be dead, 2=nonspecific active suicidal thoughts, 3=suicidal thoughts with methods, 4=suicidal intent, and 5=suicidal intent with plan); 2) intensity (sum across six items each rated 0 to 5: most severe ideation, frequency, duration, controllability, deterrents, and reason); 3) behavior; and 4) lethality.
