Bipolar disorder recurrence prevention using self-monitoring daily mood charts: case reports from a 5 year period Yasui-Furukori, Norio Nakamura, Kazuhiko Mood symptoms in bipolar disorders are significantly related to psychosocial events, and the personalized identification of symptom triggers is important. Ecological momentary assessments have been used in paper-and-pencil form to explore emotional reactivity to daily life stress in patients with bipolar disorder. However, there are few data on long-term recurrence prevention effects using ecological momentary assessments. Subjects were three outpatients with bipolar disorder who had a history of at least one admission. They recorded self-monitoring daily mood charts using a 5-point Likert scale. Paper-and-pencil mood charts included mood, motivation, thinking speed, and impulsivity. Additionally, they recorded waking time, bedtime, and medication compliance. Fewer manic or depressive episodes including admissions occurred after self-monitoring daily mood charts compared to patients' admissions in the past 3 years. This study suggests that self-monitoring daily mood in addition to mood stabilizing medication has some effect on recurrence prevention in follow-up periods of at least 5 years. Further studies with rigorous designs and large sample sizes are needed. journal article 2017 VoR application/pdf NEUROPSYCHIATRIC DISEASE AND TREATMENT 13 733 736 1178-2021 https://hirosaki.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/5458/files/NDT-132355-733.pdf http://hdl.handle.net/10129/00006529 https://hirosaki.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/5458 eng 10.2147/NDT.S132355
