Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Joseph Ceremelli discusses the principles and benefits of measurement-based care for individuals with bipolar disorder. Measurement-based care involves systematic administration of clinical measures, such as symptom measures, and using the results to inform treatment decisions. Dr. Ceremelli emphasizes the importance of consistent measurement and the potential risks of inconsistent assessment of symptoms. He presents a case example and a clinical trial that demonstrate the positive impact of measurement-based care on treatment outcomes. Dr. Ceremelli also discusses the different measures available for assessing bipolar disorder symptoms and provides insights on how to choose the appropriate measure for a specific clinical setting. He introduces the Patient Mania Questionnaire-9 (PMQ-9), a new measure developed in a clinical trial, that assesses manic symptoms in individuals with bipolar disorder. He also highlights the importance of considering functioning measures, such as measures of quality of life, alongside symptom measures. Dr. Ceremelli concludes by addressing audience questions about the availability of the PMQ-9 and the use of measurement-based care in other conditions, such as schizoaffective disorder. Overall, Dr. Ceremelli's presentation provides an overview of the benefits and considerations of using measurement-based care in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
