The World Can BeDivided into
Larks and Owls
• The tendency to Lark-ness or Owl-ness is
probably genetically determined
• Thus, some people are more extreme in their morningness or eveningness than others
• Regardless of how extreme one is, knowing one’s type and organizing one’s life to suit it can help improve mood, energy and productivitiy

Circadian Rhythms and Mood Disorders

Makes it harder to stay on schedule

Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy:
Theoretical Rationale

Social Zeitgeber Hypothesis
• Zeitgebers“Time keepers”
Exogenous environmental factors that set
the circadian clock
Prototype = rising and setting of the sun
• Social zeitgebersSocial cues that set the circadian clock

Life Events
Can provoke mood changes both through their
psychological impact (life stress) and/or through
disruption of an individual’s normal routines (social
rhythm disruption).
![Page 11: GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of ... in the... · GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of Mood Disorders Holly A. Swartz, ... • A move to](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a863c027f8b9a9f1b8cf7c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Change in Social Prompts
Consider, for example:
• the loss of a beloved spouse
• the loss of a not-so-beloved dog
• a change in one’s office location with no
change in one’s job
• a change in one’s office location along with
a major promotion
![Page 12: GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of ... in the... · GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of Mood Disorders Holly A. Swartz, ... • A move to](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a863c027f8b9a9f1b8cf7c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Change in Stability of Social Rhythms
• Death of a beloved spouse leads to psychological loss AND a loss of regular daily routines (e.g. wake time, meal times, other daily routines, bedtime)
• Death of a not-so-beloved dog still involves a loss of regular daily routines
![Page 13: GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of ... in the... · GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of Mood Disorders Holly A. Swartz, ... • A move to](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a863c027f8b9a9f1b8cf7c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Change in Stability of Social Rhythms
• A move to a new office location without a change in responsibilities may still involve a major change in daily routines
• A move to a new office location AND a change in responsibilities may involve psychological loss or disequilibrium AND a major change in daily routines
![Page 14: GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of ... in the... · GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of Mood Disorders Holly A. Swartz, ... • A move to](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a863c027f8b9a9f1b8cf7c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Change in Stability of Biological Rhythms
• Changes in wake time, the time at which one first
becomes physically active, the time at which one
first goes outside, meal times, bedtime, etc. lead
to changes in internal biological rhythms
including:
• sleep
• appetite
• alertness
• core body temperature
• hormones including melatonin, cortisol
![Page 15: GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of ... in the... · GETTING IN THE RHYTHM: A Key to Practical Treatments of Mood Disorders Holly A. Swartz, ... • A move to](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030407/5a863c027f8b9a9f1b8cf7c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Change in Somatic Symptoms
• Disequilibrium of our internal biological rhythms is experienced as somatic symptoms
• Jet lag and the transition to or from Daylight Savings Time are good models for this array of symptoms:
• difficulty falling asleep at the ‘correct’ time
• lack of appetite, nausea
• lack of mental acuity, alertness
• headache
• irritability
• Most people recover from jet lag or the DST transition within a few days, but…

Mood Symptoms =Pathological Entrainment of Biological Rhythms
• Individuals who are vulnerable to mood disorders
become ‘stuck’ in this state of pathological
entrainment and continue to experience the array of
symptoms we refer to as major depression
• We hypothesized that treatments that
re-entrain biological rhythms can speed recovery
from mood disorders and prevent their return

5-Item Social Rhythm Metric (SRM)
1. Out of bed
2. First contact (in person or by phone…maybe via text or social media…it depends) with another
3. Start work, school, housework, volunteer
activities, child or family care
4. Have dinner
5. Go to bed

Essential Elements of Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT)
• Social rhythm therapy¹Regularize daily routines
Emphasizes the link between regular routines and moods
Uses Social Rhythm Metric to monitor routines
• Interpersonal psychotherapy²Emphasizes link between mood and life events
Focus on interpersonal problem area (grief, role transition, role disputes, interpersonal deficits)

Maintenance Therapies in Bipolar Disorder:Key Outcomes
• Acute IPSRT was associated with significantly more rapid improvement in occupational functioning (p <.05) and…
• Significantly longer survival without a new mood episode in the maintenance phase, regardless of maintenance treatment assignment (p = .01)
• Participants in IPSRT had significantly higher regularity of daily routines (p < .001)
• Increased regularity of daily routines in the acute phase was associated with reduced risk of relapse in the maintenance phase (p < .05)

STEP-BD PSYCHOSOCIAL TREATMENT OF ACUTE
DEPRESSION: STUDY DESIGN
• 293 acutely depressed patients with bipolar I or II disorder were randomly assigned to intensivetreatment (up to 30 sessions of FFT, CBT, or IPSRT over 9 months) or a brief control treatment (CC).
• Each site provided two of the intensive treatments and CC
• Only patients with family members were eligible for assignment to FFT
• Primary outcome: time to “recovered” status (< 2 moderate symptoms for 8 weeks)
