To our knowledge, this is the largest actigraphy study of rest-activity rhythms and Li response. Circadian markers associated with fragmentation, variability, amount and/or amplitude of day and night-time activity best-identified GR. However, associations were modest and future research must determine whether these objectively measured parameters, singly or together, represent robust treatment response biomarkers. Actigraphy may offer an adjunct to multi-platform approaches aimed at developing personalized treatments or stratification of individuals with BD-I into treatment-relevant subgroups.
