Content By: Fisher, A., Sharpe, L., Anderson, J., Manicavasagar, V., & Juraskova, I. (2018). Development and pilot of a decision-aid for patients with bipolar II disorder and their families making decisions about treatment options to prevent relapse. PLoS ONE, 13(7), 1-22.

Course Description: A diagnosis of bipolar II disorder (BPII) is accompanied by a need to make complex treatment decisions about mood-stabilizing medications and adjunctive psychological therapies. Treatment decisions for bipolar II disorder are multi-faceted and should take into account patient preferences along with the risks and benefits of each treatment protocol. Researchers concluded that patients and their families found the decision aid to be informative, balanced, helpful, and easy to use in the treatment planning process. Overall, assessed factors related to both qualities of the decision-making process (e.g., decisional conflict) and outcomes (e.g., knowledge and values-concordant choice) confirmed the potential usefulness of the decision-aids for supporting informed BPII treatment choices.
