Short group psychoeducation followed by daily electronic self-monitoring in the long-term treatment of bipolar disorders: a multicenter, rater-blind, randomized controlled trial.

Six weekly psychoeducational group sessions followed by daily self-monitoring via ChronoRecord for 54 weeks may not be superior to non-structured group meetings followed by unstructured self-reporting. Other psychotherapeutic interventions may be needed to optimize the treatment of patients with bipolar disorders, especially for those at later disease stages.
