Overhauling technology-based interventions for young people with bipolar disorder: lessons learned from adults. Bipolar disorders Van Meter, A., Cosgrove, V. E. 2018

Abstract

Gliddon etal.1 adds to a compelling evidence base suggesting that digital interventions like MoodSwings 2.0 have the potential to contribute to long-lasting, clinically meaningful reductions in depression for adults with bipolar disorder (BD). Like MoodSwings, most digital interventions are essentially evidence-based psychosocial programs adapted for online delivery. Some include interaction with a clinician, whereas others are entirely self-guided. From a public health perspective, the allure of empirically-valid digital interventions for BD is considerable; a majority of psychosocial interventions with an evidence base in BD have not been disseminated widely and are principally available at research institutions where they were developed.
