About this trial
This project is based on the biphasic instability model and social timing theory, utilizing IPSRT to help regulate social interactions and establish regular daily habits, alleviate emotional symptoms, and prevent. The included patients with bipolar II disorder who did not take medication for the first time or relapsed within the past month were randomly divided into a medication only group (Q group), a only IPSRT group (I group). Group Q received treatment with quetiapine alone (starting at 50mg/day, with an additional 50mg to 300mg/day per week, and the dosage can be flexibly adjusted); Group I received 12 weeks of interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (12 sessions, once a week, 40 minutes each time, with relatively fixed tasks and agendas for each meeting). Compare the changes in various clinical evaluation scales and skin potential before and after treatment, explore the safety and effectiveness of drug therapy and psychotherapy for patients with bipolar II disorder with rhythm disorders, and investigate the potential biological mechanism of IPSRT by collecting data on salivary cortisol and melatonin, peripheral circadian rhythm genes (PER1/PER2/PER3/BMAL1), and magnetic resonance.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Hamilton Depression Scale (17-items) Total Score Change
The Hamilton Depression Scale (17-items), is a 17 item diagnostic questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. It's considered the gold standard for rating depression severity and used frequently in clinical trials. Higher HAM-D17 score indicates more severe depression. A reduction of 50% or more in total score from Baseline indicates clinical response.
Secondary outcomes
Change of The Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN) score
The BRIAN comprises 18 items, which are divided in 3 areas: sleep and social rhythms, activities and eating pattern. The total score ranged from 18 to 72, a higher score suggested a more severe biological rhythm disturbance.
Neuroimaging
MRI
Skin potential
In a quiet environment, the subject's left hand was pre connected to a portable skin potential acquisition device to collect skin potential signals under different types of emotional stimulation task paradigms. After denoising, 10 time-domain eigenvalues and 8 time-frequency domain eigenvalues were obtained for each task.
