SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 8 weeks

Population: One participant randomized to the Placebo group did not complete any post-baseline visits and is not included in the analysis.

MADRS assesses change from baseline to endpoint. Higher score indicates more severe depression; each item yields a score of 0 to 6. Overall score ranges: 0 to 60. Questions following symptoms 1. Apparent sadness 2. Reported sadness 3. Inner tension 4. Reduced sleep 5. Reduced appetite 6. Concentration difficulties 7. Lassitude 8. Inability to feel 9. Pessimistic thoughts 10. Suicidal thoughts. Cutoff points:0 to 6- normal/symptom absent; 7 to 19- mild depression; 20 to 34- moderate depression; \>34- severe depression. YMRS:a 11-item clinician-admin instrument assesses severity of mania. Symptoms rated: Elevated mood, Increased motor activity/energy, Sexual interest, Sleep, irritability, Speech, language/thought disorder, Content, Disruptive/aggressive behavior, Appearance, Insight. Each composed of five explicitly defined levels of severity. Severity ratings based on patient's subjective report of clinical condition during past 48 hours and clinician's observations.
