scale ranging from very dissatisfied (1) to very satisfied (5).53 CIDI diagnoses of major
depression and dysthymia were evaluated at baseline and follow - up.
Inclusion criteria were a lifetime diagnosis of bipolar disorder type I or II elicited by a trained psychiatrist (E.V. or A.B.); being euthymic (Young Mania Rating

Depressive symptoms during the week preceding the interview were measured with the Edinburgh Postnatal
Depression Scale (EPDS).26 The 10 - item questionnaire was summed to a continuous
score where higher
scores indicated greater frequency of depressive symptoms.
Included studies used several tools for measuring the severity of depressive symptoms, namely the Hamilton

Depression Rating
Scale (MADRS), 18 25 27 Beck
Depression Inventory - Fast Screen (BDI - FS) 39 and Center of Epidemiologic Studies
Depression Scale (CES - D).40 These tools have different
score ranges (HAM - D = 0 — 53, PHQ - 9 = 0 — 27, GDS = 0 — 15, HSCL - 20 = 0 — 4, MADRS = 0 — 60, BDI - FS = 0 — 21 and CES - D = 0 — 60), with higher
scores in all tools representing increasing severity of depressive symptoms.
Efficacy (as a continuous outcome), measured by the overall mean change
scores on depressive symptom
scales (self - rated or assessor - rated), for example, Children's
Depression Rating
Scale (CDRS - R) 32 and Hamilton
Depression Rating
Scale (HAMD) 33 from baseline to endpoint.
Primary outcomes: overall symptoms (positive, negative, and neurotic symptoms combined);
