Research-Based Interventions on Mood Disorders

Mood disorders have been a common discussion topic among researchers and

effectiveness of different methods of treatment. The following will discuss research-based

interventions to treat psychopathology, evaluate peer-reviewed research studies that have

provided insight into the treatment of a bipolar disorder, the conceptualization of the disorder

from a biological perspective. The discussion will also include the treatments and interventions

that have shown effectiveness and treating the disorder and the rationale behind this

effectiveness.

Overview of Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is characterized by periods of extreme depression which cycle with

periods of hypomania (Butcher, Hooley, & Mineka, 2014). The disorder is commonly attributed

to chemical imbalances in the brain that contribute to these extreme highs and lows. These

episodes are characterized by their frequency and the destructive capability they have over an

individual’s life due to the uncontrollable nature of these episodes (Bipolar disorder: Shifting

mood swings, 2002). There are four variants of the disorder: Bipolar Disorder I, Bipolar

Disorder II, Cyclothymic Disorder, and other specified bipolar and related disorders (Goldstein,

Birmaher, & Youngstrom, 2020). BPD-I is diagnoseable if an individual experienced at least

one manic episode. BPD-II is characterized by at least one occurrence of a depressive episode

and at least one hypomanic episode. Cyclothymic disorder is characterized by an individual

experiencing a minimum of a one-year cycle of extreme depressive and manic episodes. Finally,

other specified bipolar and related disorders are identifiable when some symptoms are present
