RECRUITING

Healthy Lifestyles for Bipolar Disorder

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of two different healthy lifestyles on outcomes for those with bipolar disorder. The goals are to understand the acceptability of time-restricted eating and the mediterranean diet for those who are already receiving medication treatment for bipolar disorder, and to consider how these two food plans predict changes in manic symptoms, depressive symptoms, and Quality of Life. Participants will complete daily measures of eating, sleep and mood for two weeks, and then will be assigned to follow one of the two food plans for eight weeks. The investigators will measure symptoms and Quality of Life at baseline and during and after the food plan.

  2. * current sleep (insomnia, hypersomnolence) or circadian sleep-wake (delayed phase, advanced phase, irregular sleep-wake, non-24-hour sleep-wake-type) concerns indicated by endorsement of at least some sleep or circadian-related impairment across the screening self-reports or interview
  3. * Living in an English-speaking country (and one that we have expertise in research procedures and diet)
  4. * Has been speaking English for at least 10 years, speaks English in the home, or certifies that they are able to understand English well for the study and demonstrates this during the screening interview.
  5. * Receiving medical care for BD (referrals will be provided for those who would like to begin care)
  6. * Mood-stabilizing medication regimens stable for at least one month
  7. * \< 5 kg weight change in the past 3 months
  8. * Currently eating ≥ 12 hours per day at least twice per week
  9. * Able to operate the camera function and respond to web-based surveys by phone (loaner phones will be provided as needed)

Where individuals respond to more than 14 items in a row with the same response, we will manually review for possible invalidity.

  15. * Past 3-month alcohol use disorder or substance use disorder (assessed by DIAMOND)

  17. * Conditions that would interfere with ability to take part in the intervention , including pregnancy, breastfeeding, uncorrected hypo or hyperthyroidism, gastrointestinal conditions impairing nutrient absorption,
  18. * Medical conditions such as HIV, AIDS, lupus, or multiple sclerosis that could confound the assessment of mania or other measures
  19. * Medications contraindicated for fasting: clozapine, glucose-lowering medications, diabetes-related injections, medications requiring food early morning or late evening, corticosteroids; medications such as semaglutide will not be an exclusion criteria
  20. * Cognitive deficits as noted during the initial interview or as indicated by low performance on the Short Orientation Memory Concentration Test (\< 20 on the weighted score).

  2. Severe psychiatric disorders
  3. Active substance abuse
  4. Unstable medical conditions
  5. Inability to comply with study requirements
