    Up to 48 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Longitudinal Interval Follow-up Evaluation-Clinical Monitoring Form: Symptom Severity

    48 weeks

  • Change in Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Clinician Rating

    At 0, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 weeks

  • Change in Young Mania Rating Scale
