Brief Summary
Previous research suggests that people with bipolar disorder have trouble accurately identifying emotions. The goal of this study is to test a novel intervention, emotion recognition modification (ERM), to help improve the ability of young people with bipolar disorder to identify emotions.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
change in face emotion recognition as assessed by the number of face emotions correctly identified
Ratio of faces identified as happy versus sad/angry
two months after the completion of the intervention
Secondary Outcomes (8)
change in self reported depressed mood as measured by baseline and post intervention
following three sessions of the intervention (approximately two weeks)
change in clinician-rated depressed mood as measured by baseline and post intervention scores o
following three sessions of the intervention (approximately two weeks)
change in self-reported depressed mood as measured by baseline and two month follow-up scores
two months after completion of intervention
change in clinician-rated depressed mood as measured by baseline and two month follow-up scores
two months after completion of intervention
change in social functioning as measured by the social network questionnaire

Interventions
Participants must choose whether each face is happy or sad. Based on these responses, an algorithm then estimates each participant's balance point, the threshold point on the morph sequence at which they are equally likely to label the face as happy or sad. During the intervention, the participant receives feedback on their emotion choices designed to train them to identify two additional morphs as happy, rather than sad. The intervention is completed three times.
