Summary

To examine the impact of cognitive-behavioural therapy on both the episodic and functional outcome of bipolar disorder, in combination with pharmacotherapy.

Primary Hypothesis is twofold:

1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy will reduce the total symptom burden, as measured both by percentage of time spent ill (both syndromic and subsyndromal) and number of episodes, as compared to psychoeducation
2. Cognitive behavioural therapy will reduce social and occupational disability to a greater extent than psychoeducation.
