Bipolar Disorders

Suicide is a major public health concern, particularly among Veterans with serious mental illness (SMI, i.e., psychotic disorders or bipolar disorders). Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is a well-established evidence-based practice for those with SMI that centers on identifying warning signs of mental illness, developing wellness tools for functional independence, planning for day-to-day effective living within one's community, and building an action plan to create a valued life worth living. This proposed study will refine and pilot SUicide Prevention by Peers Offering Recovery Tactics (SUPPORT), a novel integrated recovery program that is an adaptation of peer-delivered WRAP for Veterans with SMI. In SUPPORT, a Peer Specialist leads a Veteran at increased risk for suicide through recovery planning that is tailored to the Veteran's suicidal experiences with cognitive learning strategies to enhance safety plan recall and improve functioning.

Mental health disorders, with a 30% annual prevalence rate, are a leading cause of disability and reduced life expectancy. Despite their impact, patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) and outcome measures (PROMs) are underutilized in psychiatry. MonPsy\&Moi®, a digital platform funded by ATIH and DGOS, addresses this gap by providing a user-friendly tool to assess patient experiences and outcomes in real-time, aiming to improve the quality of psychiatric care across France. The study consists of two stages: Stage 1 (No Feedback): MonPsy\&Moi® is deployed across 12 psychiatric facilities, collecting patient data without feedback to clinicians. Objectives include assessing implementation feasibility, validating adaptive questionnaires (PREMIUM), and identifying predictors of patient outcomes, such as relapse and healthcare utilization. Stage 2 (With Feedback): Focuses on patients with severe mental illnesses (schizophrenia, bipolar disorders, and major depressive disorders). This stage evaluates the impact of providing PREMs/PROMs feedback to clinicians on relapse rates, healthcare costs, and overall patient outcomes. MonPsy\&Moi® uses adaptive questionnaires tailored to psychiatric care, covering key domains such as dignity, information, interpersonal relationships, care environment, and treatment. It also evaluates health-related quality of life, including psychological well-being, autonomy, self-esteem, and social relationships. The platform integrates with national healthcare databases (SNDS) to enhance data analysis and predict patient trajectories. The study will involve over 22,000 participants in Stage 1 and 1,100 participants in Stage 2, using a quasi-experimental design to compare feedback and non-feedback strategies. Results aim to demonstrate the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of MonPsy\&Moi® in improving mental health outcomes and guiding national psychiatric care policies. By empowering patients and clinicians with actionable insights, MonPsy\&Moi® aspires to set a new standard for patient-centered mental healthcare in real-world settings

The goal of our study to learn if lurasidone molecule which is used on patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder has any cardiotoxic effect.
