Could a simple conversation improve bipolar treatment success?
NCT ID NCT03245593
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether involving bipolar patients in decisions about their long-term medication (shared decision-making) helps them take their medicine as prescribed. Researchers will compare standard care to a shared decision-making plan in 300 adults after a mood episode. The goal is to see if this approach improves adherence, satisfaction, quality of life, and reduces relapses.
