N2 - Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a complex mood disorder that is often treatedpharmacologically to reduce patient symptoms and the risk of relapse.Medication though is only partially effective, with most individuals continuing toexperience on-going symptoms. This has resulted in interest in the benefits ofpsychological approaches delivered as adjuncts to pharmacotherapies.Psychoeducation (PE) is an example of a psychological approach which hasbeen demonstrated to be effective in BD, reducing the number of patientrelapses, with positive outcomes being linked to increased levels ofintervention usage.
