Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to test a novel psychoeducational intervention for individuals at high risk for bipolar disorder (BD). BD affects over two per cent of the population and is commonly based on self-reported history of (hypo)manic episodes that are frequently underreported. This can result in a substantial delay in the accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment initiation of BD which is linked to poor clinical and functional outcomes. To help address this, the study team has developed a prototype manualized telehealth-based group psychoeducational program for those at high risk for BD.
