A Novel Psychological Intervention for Adults With Bipolar Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Comorbidity (VECTOR)

Официальное название

Bridging the Gap in the Study of Bipolar Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Impact of cognitiVE Reserve and funCtioning in a Newly Designed Treatment intervenTion for comORbidity (VECTOR)

Обзор

Cognitive dysfunctions are present in Bipolar Disorder (BD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and may negatively impact psychosocial functioning. Further, comorbid BD and ADHD (BD-ADHD) is prevalent, associated with an earlier BD onset and a less favorable prognosis. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of research dedicated to the characterization and treatment of comorbid BD-ADHD. This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a novel psychological group intervention (VECTOR) for adults with BD-ADHD. VECTOR integrates elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for ADHD and Functional Remediation (FR) for BD. Eighty patients will be randomized (1:1) to receive either the VECTOR program (12 weekly group sessions) or treatment as usual (TAU). It is expected that the VECTOR program will result in greater improvements in functioning and symptom reduction compared to TAU.

Вмешательства

• Поведенческое Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) + Functional Remediation (FR)
  VECTOR will provide a newly designed intervention, based on the adaptation of two existing evidence-based and effective interventions (CBT for ADHD and FR for BD)(Corrales et al., 2024; Torrent et al., 2013).
