Abstract
Psychotic episodes occur in a substantial proportion of patients suffering from major mood disorders (both unipolar and bipolar) at some point in their lives. The nature of these episodes is less well understood than the more common, non-psychotic periods of illness and hence their management is also less sophisticated. This is a concern because the risk of suicide is particularly high in this subtype of mood disorder and comorbidity is far more common. In some cases psychotic symptoms may be signs of a comorbid illness but the relationship of psychotic mood to other forms of psychosis and in particular its interactions with schizophrenia is poorly understood. Therefore, our targeted review draws upon extant research and our combined experience to provide clinical context and a framework for the management of these disorders in real-world practice - taking into consideration both biological and psychological interventions.

Yıldızhan E, Uzun E, Tomruk NB. Effect of long acting injectable antipsychotics on course and hospitalizations in bipolar disorder - a naturalistic mirror image study. Nord J Psychiatry 2022; 76:37-43. [PMID: 34124986 DOI: 10.1080/08039488.2021.1931714] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To determining whether the addition of a long-acting injectable antipsychotic (LAI-AP) has a positive effect on prognosis in bipolar disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of patients with bipolar disorder who were using LAI-AP at least for one year in the community mental health center (CMHC) until March 2020 were investigated. Comparisons were made between the period of one year before and after the initiation of LAI-AP. Hospital admission was the primary outcome. Residual symptom severity and functionality were evaluated with Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSP), Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). RESULTS There were 197 patients with bipolar disorder who were attending to the CMHC and 17 of them were under maintenance treatment with LAI-AP for at least one year. The LAI-APs used were aripiprazole (n = 8), paliperidone (n = 5) and risperidone (n = 4). Duration of illness was 13.5 ± 8.02 years and duration of LAI-AP treatment was 24.8 ± 22.74 months (median: 18). During the one-year period after the LAI-AP initiation, there were fewer days spent in hospital (2.5 ± 5.68 vs. 15.5 ± 20.59 days, p = .026) and the number of hospitalizations was lower than the year before the LAI-AP use (0.1 ± 0.39 vs. 0.9 ± 1.24 hospitalizations, p = .013). During the recovery period with LAI antipsychotics, there were mild residual symptoms presented with mean PSP (70.2), YMRS (1.7) and BDI (7.6) scores. CONCLUSION LAI-AP use may have positive effect on course for selected patients with a long history of bipolar disorder.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was the evaluation of utility of
plasma level monitoring in the clinical stabilizing efficacy and tolerability of
paliperidone palmitate (PP) vs. aripiprazole monohydrate (AM) in bipolar
disorder I (BD I) with manic predominance.
Methods Fifty-six outpatients of both sexes, age ranging from 18 to 65
years, affected by BD I with manic predominance, orally treated and stabilized
after acute episode for at least 2 weeks with paliperidone or aripiprazole
(n=31, paliperidone; n=25, aripiprazole) underwent a prospective
observational study of switching to the corresponding long-acting injection
(LAI) on the basis of clinical evaluation. The efficacy and tolerability of the
2 treatments were assessed by BPRS, PANSS, HAMD21, and MRS rating scales and a
check list every month for 12 months. Drug plasma levels determinations (PLs)
were performed at the same times.
Results A good clinical stability and tolerability of both drugs were
reported. Lower mean PLs of PP showed a positive effect on depressive symptoms.
AM PLs variability was associated with greater instability of manic symptoms
whereas intermediate PLs seem to have more influence on depressive
symptomatology.
Discussion PLs drug monitoring has been proven to be useful, and further
investigations to identify optimal therapeutic ranges for LAI formulations are
needed.

[PMID: 33488408 PMCID: PMC7819884 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2020.529672] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Medication non-adherence is prevalent in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIAs) are widely used to improve compliance with treatment. This study aimed to illustrate the effectiveness, compliance, and safety profile of once-monthly paliperidone palmitate (PP1M), a novel therapeutic LAIA, in the management of bipolar I disorder (BDI). Method: A prospective follow-up was arranged to 11 BDI patients who were prescribed PP1M as monotherapy or adjunctive treatment. Severity of symptoms, disturbing behavior, status of employment, 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), and Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) were evaluated at the baseline and the endpoint of follow-up. Clinical Global Impression-Bipolar Disorder-Severity of Illness Scale (CGI-BP) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) were measured at each injection of PP1M. Compliance, relapse or switch, and new hospitalization were monitored through the period of follow-up. Results: The median duration of treatment was 14 months, ranging from 5 to 22 months. The scores (mean ± standard deviation) of HAMD-17, YMRS, and CGI-BP generally decreased from the baseline (16.1 ± 10.3, 30.9 ± 12.6, 5.3 ± 0.7) to the endpoint (7.4 ± 5.7, 3.7 ± 3.2, 2.3 ± 0.7). No disturbing behavior was detected at the endpoint. Neither new hospitalization nor manic/mixed episode occurred during treatment, whereas mild to moderate depressive episodes were reported in three cases. The status of employment of 10 participants (90.9%) was improved, and no new safety concern was detected. Conclusion: PP1M might offer a new valid treatment option in the long-term management of BDI, especially for those with poor compliance with oral medication. However, more studies are needed to further justify such role.

Post-hoc analyses of long-term studies of aripiprazole once monthly as maintenance treatment. Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2019; 15:2325-2338. [PMID: 31616148 PMCID: PMC6699506 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s209700] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/22/2019] [Accepted: 07/19/2019] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE There is growing agreement that definitions of "recovery" in bipolar-I disorder (BP-I) should include functional outcomes beyond sustained symptomatic remission. In this post-hoc analysis, we assessed functional recovery rates according to the validated Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST) in participants with BP-I after 52 weeks of maintenance treatment with aripiprazole once monthly (AOM). PATIENTS AND METHODS Rates of functional recovery with AOM 400 were investigated in two 52-week studies. NCT01567527 was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized-withdrawal study and NCT01710709 was an open-label study. Functional recovery, assessed at the end of the respective maintenance phases, was defined as a total FAST score of ≤11 for 8 consecutive weeks. RESULTS Post-hoc analyses included 229 patients from the randomized-withdrawal study (AOM 400 n=116; placebo n=113). The open-label study included 402 patients (including 321 de novo patients and 81 rollover patients who had completed the randomized-withdrawal study). In the randomized-withdrawal study, functional recovery was achieved by 30.2% (n=35) of the AOM 400 group compared with 24.8% (n=28) in the placebo group. The difference was not statistically significant (p=0.39). In the open-label study, 36% (n=116) of de novo patients and 43% (n=35) of rollover patients had functionally recovered after 52 weeks of AOM 400 treatment. CONCLUSION These data highlight the utility of a sustained FAST total score of ≤11 as a definition of recovery and emphasize the possibility of achieving this ambitious treatment goal with effective long-term treatment.
