Alcohol Response for Bipolar Disorder

Austin, Texas
Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) affect up to 60% of individuals with bipolar disorder during their lifetime and is associated with worse illness outcomes, yet few studies have been performed to clarify the causes of this comorbidity. Understanding biological risk factors that associate with and predict the development of AUDs in bipolar disorder could inform interventions and prevention efforts to reduce the rate of this comorbidity and improve outcomes of both disorders. Identifying predictors of risk requires longitudinal studies in bipolar disorder aimed at capturing the mechanisms leading to the emergence of AUDs. Previous work in AUDs suggest that subjective responses to alcohol and stress-related mechanisms may contribute to the development of AUDs. In bipolar disorder, altered developmental trajectory of critical ventral prefrontal networks that modulate mood and reward processing may alter responses to alcohol and stressors; consequently, the disruption in typical neurodevelopment may be an underlying factor for the high rates of comorbidity. No longitudinal data exist investigating if this developmental hypothesis is correct. To address this gap, the investigators will use a multimodal neuroimaging approach, modeling structural and functional neural trajectories of corticolimbic networks over young adulthood, incorporating alcohol administration procedures, clinical phenotyping, and investigating effects of acute stress exposure and early life stress. Research aims are to identify biological risk factors-i.e., changes in subjective response to alcohol and associated neural trajectories-that are associated with the development of alcohol misuse and symptoms of AUDs over a two-year longitudinal period in young adults with bipolar disorder and typical developing young adults. Longitudinal data will be collected on 160 young adults (50% with bipolar disorder, 50% female; aged 21-26). This study is a natural extension of the PI's K01 award. How acute exposure to stress and childhood maltreatment affects subjective response to alcohol and risk for prospective alcohol misuse and symptoms of AUDs will be investigated. The investigators will test our hypothesis that developmental differences in bipolar disorder versus typical developing individuals disrupt corticolimbic networks during young adulthood, increase sensitivity to stress, and lead to changes in subjective response to alcohol and placebo response increasing risk for developing AUDs.

Lifestyle Program for Diabetes in People with Serious Mental Illness

San Antonio, Texas
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine if it is feasible to randomly assign people into two groups and participate in Lifestyle MIND (Mental Illness and/N' Diabetes) at two different times. Lifestyle MIND is a diabetes lifestyle intervention recently developed for people with serious mental illness (SMI). It is known to be helpful for people with SMI who complete it, but the investigators do not know the effect in comparison to those who do not participate in it. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does Lifestyle MIND improve diabetes control among people with SMI? * Will the effect of Lifestyle MIND be sustained 10 weeks after program completion? * From the provider's perspective, what are the barriers of achieving optimal diabetes treatment outcomes for patients with SMI? Researchers will compare outcomes of participants in the intervention with those in the wait-list control arm, to see if there will be significant differences in blood glucose level, compliance of diabetes self-management, time staying active, number of emergency department (ED) visits and psychiatric hospitalization, and subjective well-being.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been experiencing bipolar depression since I was a teenager and have tried many treatments that have not helped: SSRIs (Prozac), Wellbutrin, talk therapy. None worked. I've heard great things about ketamine therapy and would really like to try it. I'd like to access it through a clinical trial."

FM
Bipolar Disorder PatientAge: 38

"I've been struggling with alcoholism and depression on-and-off for about 12 years. I have heard of people have good outcomes for various mental health issues after using psilocybin but would not be willing to try it without a doctor's care. So I'm applying to a trial. "

QJ
Depression PatientAge: 60

"My mania is under control but I still have no way of handling depression. I've been looking into new treatments and I would be so grateful to be able to try one of the latest research treatments. Even if it fails: it's worth a shot, better than giving up. I'm a bit at wit's end."

PW
Bipolar Disorder PatientAge: 30

"I have suffered from different mental health issues and have not had very good luck with finding what works best for me. My mental illness is seriously hurting my marriage and home life... I've been reading about new research treatments and think that they might work better than traditional treatments. Excited to try."

QQ
Bipolar Disorder PatientAge: 43

"I have struggled living with bipolar disorder for nearly 20 years. I am always hopeful to find new treatments or medications that might really help my symptoms, and I feel strongly pulled to help contribute to bipolar research/science any way that I can. Finally use this brain for some good! :)"
