Nutrition, Exercise, and Wellness Treatment (NEW Tx) for Bipolar Disorder

NEW Tx is a flexible modular treatment such that modules are selected based on the needs of the individual to increase its generalizability across patients, settings, and providers as well as its acceptability to patients.

Pharmacotherapy will be conducted by experts in BD treatment and will follow the empirically-supported treatment algorithm for BD that has been developed and recently revised. The foundation of TAU is to maintain treatment with at least one Food and Drug Administration approved mood stabilizer. For TAU, medication and dosage changes are allowed as needed as long as the change is recommended based on the guidelines and participants remain on a mood stabilizer.
