`
`Bipolar disorder is a mentai illness characterized by debilitating mood swings.l The lifetime
`prevalence estimate for bipolar disorder has been estimated to be approximately 4% to 5% of
`Americans over the age of 18.2 Therefore, it is estimated that as many as i2.3 million people in the
`United States are affected by bipolar disorder.2 Bipolar disorder is among the top 10 leading causes
`of disability in the United States.3
`
`Bipolar disorder shows different patterns of illness and is suggested to be a spectrum of disorders.
`However. the main categories of bipolar disorder are bipolar | disorder and bipolar ll disorder. The
`fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM‘S) criteria for a
`diagnosis of bipolar l disorder includes a history of i or more major depressive episodes and at least
`1 episode of mania. DSM-S criteria for bipolar Ii disorder inciudes a history of i or more major
`depressive episodes and hypornanic episodes. without true manic episodes.4
`
`Mania is defined as a distinct period of abnormally and persistently eievated. expansive. or irritable
`mood and abnormally and persistently increased goal-directed activity or energy, lasting at least 1
`week and present most of the day. nearly every day (or any duration if hospitalization is necessary).
`should be present.“4 During this period of mood disturbance and increased energy or activity. 23 of
`the following symptoms (4 if the mood is only irritable) need to be present to a significant degree
`and noticeable“:
`
`1. inflated seif—esteem or grandiosity
`
`2. Decreased need for sleep (eg. feels rested after only 3 hours of sleep)
`
`3. More talkative than usual or pressured to keep talking
`
`4. Flight of ideas or subjective experience that thoughts are racing
`
`5. Distractibiiity
`
`6. lncrease in goal—directed activity or psychomotor agitation
`7. Excessive involvement in activities that have a high potential for painfui consequences
`
`in general. the mood disturbance is sufficiently severe to cause marked impairment in social or
`occupational functioning or to necessitate hospitalization to prevent harm to self or others. or
`psychotic features are present.‘1 The episode should not be attributable to the physiologic effects of
`a substance of abuse. medication. or other medicai condition.
`
`Hypomania is defined as a distinct period of abnormaily and persistently elevated, expansive.
`or irritabie mood and abnormally and persistently increased activity or energy. lasting at least
`4 consecutive days and present most of the day. nearly every day“
`
`A major depressive episode is defined by the presence 0125 of the following symptoms during the
`same 2*week period, and represents a change from previous functioning. At least one of the
`symptoms is either (i) depressed mood or (2) loss of interest or pleasure.
`
`i. Depressed mood most of the day. nearly every day. as indicated by either subjective report or
`observation made by others
`
`2. Markedly diminished interest or pleasure in all, or almost all, activities most of the day, nearly
`every day
`
`3. Significant weight ioss when not dieting or weight gain
`
`4. Insomnia or hypersomnia neariy every day
`
`5. Psychomotor agitation or retardation nearly every day
`
`6. Fatigue or loss of energy nearly every day
`
`7. Feelings of worthlessness or excessive or inappropriate guilt nearly every day
`
`8. Diminished ability to think or concentrate. or indecisiveness. nearly every day
`
`9. Recurrent thoughts of death (not just fear of dying). recurrent suicidal ideation without a
`specific plan. or a suicide attempt or a specific plan for committing suicide
`
`Symptoms of a major depressive episode cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social.

`Men and women are equally iikely to deveiop bipoiar disorder over their lifetime and the disease tends to have an
`onset in early adulthood.5 Figure 2 shows the proportion of time spent ill during clinical visits for bipolar | disorder
`(N = 572) from one study. As for differences between genders. this study showed that women had a significantly
`greater number of prior depressive episodes and hospitalizations for depression.5 Although there was no difference
`in time spent in mania between the 2 groups in this study, there was a trend showing that men had a greater number
`of iifetime hospitalizations for mania?

`
`A common misconception about the disease course of bipoiar disorder is that patients spend an equal amount of
`timer when ill. either manic or depressed. Contrary to this belief, a longitudinal study {approximately 13 years of
`follow-up) of patients with bipolar I disorder demonstrated that depressive symptoms (32% of totai follow-up weeks)
`seem to predominate over manic/hypomanic symptoms {9% of Weeks) or cyclingr‘mixed symptoms (6% of weeks).5
`This is termed bipoiar depression and refers to the depressive phase of bipolar disorder. Symptoms of bipolar
`depression inciude: extreme sadness, anxiety, fatigue. hopelessness, inactivity and disinterest in usuai activities,
`disruptions to sleeping and eating patterns. and thoughts of death or suicide.‘ This sometimes prevents eariy
`diagnosis of bipoiar disorder since. when symptomatic, most peopie with bipoiar I disorder tend to spend about 70%
`of the time in the depressed state.6
`
`Furthermore, monitoring for symptoms consistent with bipolar disorder is important since approximateiy 15% of
`people diagnosed with unipoiar depression, and who self'report episodes consistent with mania, may be at risk for
`undiagnosed bipolar disorder?

`Bipolar disorder Clinical and Economic Burden
`
`fiisease harden
`
`Bipolar disorder is a burdensome illness characterized by recurrent episodes of major depressive
`episodes and mania (or mixed episodes of the 2} or hypomanla. In a longitudinal study
`(approximately 13 years of follow-up) of patients with bipolar | disorder (N : 146), patients were
`symptomatically ill nearly half of all of the weeks they were followed? Additionally. patients with
`bipoiar I disorder changed symptom status an average of 5 times per year and polarity more than
`3 times per year.‘S These events take a heavy toll on a patient‘s health status and affect family.
`social. and work relationships.
`
`Mortality Risk From General medical Conditions and Life Expectancy
`
`Bipolar disorder can also double a person’s risk of early death from a range of medical conditions.a
`Patients with bipolar disorder have increased risk for metabolic syndrome. high blood glucose and
`cholesterol. high blood pressure. and obesity.9 These factors are closely associated with the risk for
`cardiovascular disease (CVD).
`
`Mortality ratios for death from general medical conditions, such as cardiovascular. respiratory.
`cerebrovascular. and endocrine disorders. are significantly higher among patients with bipolar
`disorder compared with persons with no psychiatric illness.9 Recently. in a large population-based
`study of l7.lOl patients with bipolar disorder it was shown that mortality from CVD was 2-fold higher
`in this population compared with the generai population. and 38% of all deaths in persons with
`bipolar disorder were caused by CVD.9 Furthermore, patients with bipolar disorder died of CVD
`approximately l0 years earlier than the general population and 5—year survival rates (by patient age}
`after first hospital admission for CVD were significantly lower among patients with bipolar disorder
`than individuals in the general population {Figure 3).9

`Economic Banter:
`
`Estimates of healthcare utilization costs for patients with bipolar disorder are 2.5 times greater than for general
`medical outpatients.‘1 in 2002. a US population-based survey of people with bipoiar depression showed higher
`healthcare utilization patterns over 12 months compared with people who had unipolar depression.La More frequent
`office visits, emergency care visits, hospitalizations. and use of social services were reported by patients with
`bipolar depression compared with patients with unipolar depression (Figure 4}_12 For example. patients with bipolar
`depression were twice as likely to seek counseling and 3.5 times as likely to need a psychiatric hospital stay than
`patients with unipolar depression.

`
`Resident Symptoms and dedication donadherence Are Factors Associated with the Captioned
`Burden of Bipoiar Depression
`
`In the large Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program for Bipolar Disorder (STEP—BB) study. patients with bipolar
`disorder were followed for up to 2 years.13 two observations were made about patients who had yet to recover from
`their symptoms in this study. The first was that. despite appropriate clinical treatment based on availabie guidelines.
`nearly 50% of the participants experienced a recurrence of their symptoms by the end of the 2-year followup
`period.13 The second observation was that 70% of recurrence episodes were to a depressed state and the risk for
`recurrent depressive episodes increased by 14% for every depressive symptom present at recovery.‘3 This study
`confirmed that residual symptoms eariy in recovery predict recurrence, particularly for the depression associated
`with bipolar disorder.13 In one other study. patients recovering with residual symptoms experienced a subsequent
`major episode approximateiy 3 times faster than patients recovering without residual symptoms.I4
`
`Treatment nonadherence in bipolar disorder is a common occurrence. A study evaluated adherence to antipsychotic
`therapy with aripiprazole. quetiapine. and ziprasidone in the 6 months foliowing hospitalization of 84 patients with
`bipolar disorder.:5 in the 6 months following hospitalization, patients with bipolar disorder received medication
`enough to cover only 37% of their follow-up days.‘5 Several reasons for poor adherence were discussed including
`symptoms of the disease itself. medication side effects. substance abuse. tack of support systems. stress. and
`inadequate patient~heaithcare provider relationships.‘5 Ciinical features that have been shown to be significantly
`associated with poor adherence included rapid bipolar cycling. suicide attempts. earlier onset of iliness. and current
`anxiety or alcohol use disorder (P<O.05).16
`
`These data suggest that there is a need to appropriately treat the depressive episodes associated with bipolar
`disorder and to provide education to patients and their caregivers on the importance of medication adherence
`to maintain disease stability.

`Summary of Bipolar l Disorder
`
`Bipolar l disorder is a chronic mood disorder associated with high rates of disability and medical
`comorbidities. premature mortality from general medical conditionsr in particular CVD, and risk of
`suicide. Aithough manic episodes are a key diagnostic factor of bipolar l disorder, patients will spend
`a high proportion of their symptomatic days in a depressed state and these symptoms tend to recur
`if inadeq uateiyr treated.
`
`Furthermore, since definitive diagnosis is sometimes delayed, information from previous medical
`records as well as family, friends, and coworkers may aid in the more timeiy diagnosis of bipoiar
`disorder. in turn. bipolar disorder is an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of
`major depressive disorder.

`Schizophrenia is a widespread mental iliness affecting more than 2 million Americans.“18 it affects
`both men and women. with symptoms typically beginning in adoiescence and early aduithood.“3
`
`The etiology of schizophrenia is multifactorial and poorly understood.” Although a direct biologicai
`cause has not been determined, genetic and environmental factors appear to piay a rote?" Evidence
`suggests that patients with schizophrenia have multiple abnormalities in brain anatomy.20
`
`Schizophrenia has 4 recognized clinical stages based on a patient's overall level of functioning:
`premorbid, prodromal. progressive. and resid ual.3°-2‘ The mean age range of these stages and the
`associated decline in functioning are presented in Figure 5.

`
`The characteristic symptoms of schizophrenia involve a range of cognitive, behavioral, and
`emotional dysfunctions, but no singie symptom is pathognomonic of the disorder. The diagnosis
`involves the recognition of a constellation of signs and symptoms associated with impaired
`occupationai or social functioning. individuals with the disorder will vary substantiaily on most
`features. as schizophrenia is a heterogeneous clinicai synd rorne.‘8 DSM-S diagnostic criteria for
`schizophrenia require that two or more of the loliowing are each present for a significant portion
`of time during a 1-month period (or iess if successfuily treated). At ieast one of these must be (1},
`(2). or (3)13:
`
`3. Delusions
`2. Haliucinations
`
`3. Disorganlzed speech (eg, frequent deraiiment or incoherence)
`
`4. Grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior
`5. Negative symptoms (lo. diminished emotional expression or avolition)
`
`Furthermore. for a significant portion of the time since the onset of the disturbance. level of
`functioning in one or more major areas. such as work, interpersonal relations, or self-care, is
`markedly below the level achieved prior to the onset (or when the onset is in childhood or
`adolescence. there is failure to achieve expected level of interpersonal. academic. or occupationai
`functioning).‘3 Continuous signs of the disturbance persist for at least 6 months. This 6-month

`
`

`

`period must inciude at least one month of symptoms (or less if SUccessfuily treated) that meet the criteria Eisted
`above (ie. active-phase symptoms) and may include periods of prodromal or residual symptoms. During these
`prodromal or residual periods. the signs of the disturbance may be manifested by only negative symptoms or by two
`or more symptoms listed above if they present in an attenuated form (eg, odd beliefs. unusual perceptuai
`experiences).'8 Other symptoms of schizophrenia may inciude hostiiity. excitement. emotional and sociai withd rawai.
`uncooperativeness, as well as impaired attention, executive functioning. and verbal fluency.22 Schizoaffective
`disorder and depressive or bipoiar disorder with psychotic features should be ruled out. as well as disturbances
`attributable to a drug of abuse or medication. or another Inedicai condition.'3 if there is a history of autism or
`communication disorder in chiidhood, then a diagnosis of schizophrenia is made only if prominent deiusions or
`hallucinations. in addition to other required symptoms of schizophrenia. are also present for at least one month.‘8
`
`Adolescents
`
`Approximately one-third of individuals develop schizophrenia before the age of 18.23 Adolescents age 13 to i? years
`with schizophrenia are diagnosed according to the same criteria as adults. though it is important to note that the
`disorder presents differently in these younger individuals. making its recognition more difficult. Adolescent-onset
`schizophrenia is characterized by a more insidious onset with a relative lack of symptom specificity in the early
`stages of the disease. the potentiai for more prominent negative symptoms. frequentiy disorganized behavior or
`dysfunctional ways of thinking. and iess complex deiusions and hallucinations. The duration of untreated psychosis
`can be 3.5 times longer in patients with early-onset schizophrenia versus those with adult-onset schizophrenia?“
`
`Short-term outcomes appear worse for adolescents with schizophrenia than for their adult counterparts. Over time.
`patients can typicaily expect a chronic. unremitting course with severe impairment as aduits. However, this path can
`vary considerably in terms of impairment level and sociai and psychiatric support needed?5
`
`Additional clinicai resources are needed to assist healthcare professionais with identifying schizophrenia in
`adolescents. The stigma associated with the illness can deiay communication of an actuai diagnosis to the patient
`and famiiyfimfi The severe and extended clinicai course and poor outcomes associated with adolescent
`schizophrenia highlight the need for early recognition. diagnosis. and intervention.“-25

`
`The term “metabolic syndrome" refers to a group of abnormalities that is widely considered to be
`a precursor of diabetes and CVD. Metabolic syndrome can be constituted by changes in several
`cardiornetaboiic risk categories, including elevated fasting blood glucose. altered lipid profile,
`elevated blood pressure, being overweight or obese. and central adiposity. Patients with
`schizophrenia may be more susceptible to changes in these parameters than the general population
`and. therefore. may have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular i:oniorbii:lities.3“-35
`
`According to a meta-analysis including over 25.000 patients with schizophrenia. the rate of
`metabolic syndrome in these patients approached 50%. compared with 33% in the general
`population.36 Additionally. atypical antipsychotic medications are associated with changes in
`metabolic parameters.37-33 Other contributing factors that may affect metabolic risk in patients
`with schizophrenia are that they receive less frequent or no screening and fewer treatments for
`cardiometaboiic risk factors-.39-40
`
`in addition to the higher prevalence of CVD. schizophrenia is often associated with higher rates of
`comorbid mental illnesses as well as respiratory and infectious diseases.""-“*2
`
`Economic Suntan
`
`Onset of symptoms of schizophrenia frequentiy occurs during the most productive years of
`adulthood (males: late teens to early 205: females: 205 to eariy 305). Therefore. the disease can
`lead to substantial losses in productivity and increased costs to both the patient and society.2M3
`
`Schizophrenia has been shown to have a substantiai economic impact. In a 2005 study, overall
`spending on schizophrenia was estimated at $62.? biliion a year (2002 data; Figure '0.“
`
`indirect costs (losses resulting from decreased productivity] made up the largest portion of
`spending, amounting to an estimated total of 532.4 billion. of these. unemployment was the
`greatest cost, ioilowed by caregiver expenses. reduced productivity. and suicide.“4
`
`Direct healthcare-related costs. including long-term care. outpatient and inpatient care. and
`pharmacy expenses. accounted for the second largest proportion of spending. estimated at
`$22.7 billion.44 Direct non~healthcare costs. including law enforcement, homeless shelters.
`and research and training. accounted for an estimated $7.6 billion.“

`

`Factors Associated With Ciinicai and Economic Burden
`
`Two factors that often play a substantial roie in the high ciinical and economic costs associated with
`schizophrenia are hospitalization and treatment nonadherence.‘“"‘4a
`
`A study of medical and pharmacy claims for the years 1998 to 2007 found that newly diagnosed
`patients {st year since diagnosis) had significantly higher medical expenses in their first year of
`treatment than those diagnosed for 3 or more years.46 Newly diagnosed patients were hospitalized
`twice as often {22.3% vs i2.4%; P<0.000i), spent an average of 2 more days in the hospital, and
`cost approximateiv 55000 more than chronic patientsflé
`
`Nonadherence to treatment is an important contributor to relapse that increases the healthcare
`burden of schizophrenia. One study found that continuous treatment reduced the risk of relapse by
`about 70%.“
`
`A study of 213 patients found that discontinuation of antipsychotic medication doubled the risk of
`rehospitalization within the first 3 months of hospital discharge.43
`
`Patient-related. treatment-reiated, and environmental factors may all piay a contributing role in the
`nonaclherence of patients with schizophrenia {Tabie 212°

`
`The Clinical Antipsvchotic Trials of intervention Effectiveness (CATIE) Study compared the reiative
`effectiveness of one first-generation {typical} antipsvchotic (perphenazine) and 4 second-generation
`(atypical) antipsychotics (olanzapine. quetiapine. risperidone, and ziprasidone) for treatment oi
`patients with schizophrenia.”
`
`The CATIE Study indicated that 74% (1063/1432) of patients discontinued antipsychotic treatment
`before the 18-month study endpoint. Analysis of the reasons for discontinuation indicated that over
`one-haif of patients discontinued treatment due to either lack of efficacy (32%) or being unable to
`tolerate the prescribed drug (20%).49 The reasons given for treatment intolerance are described

`considerations When Choosing an antipsvchotic for Schizophrenia
`
`Having a variety of avaiiable antipsychotic drugs allows for individuaiization of therapy for adult patients with
`schizophrenia. important considerations when choosing the appropriate antipsvchotic for each patient include the
`patient's past responses to treatment, medication side-effect profiles, patient preferences, route of administration.

`Summary of Schizophrenia
`
`Schizophrenia is a serious chronic and disabling mental illness with a substantiai clinical burden that includes poor
`overall physical health and higher rates of comorbid mentai illnesses as wail as cardiovascutar, respiratory. and
`infectious diseases: ail of which can contribute to a reduced iife expectanch9-2o-37'33
`
`Schizophrenia is associated with significant costs clue to lost productivity and other direct and indirect healthcare—
`and non-heaithcare-relateci expenses.43i4“
`
`Treatment nonadherence can result in poorer outcomes and may contribute to increased medical costs. Lack of
`treatment etiicacv andfor poor tolerability and patient and environmental factors mayr also all contribute
`to nonadherence.”
`
`Adoiescents age 13 to 1? are diagnosed with the same criteria as adults, but schizophrenia can be harder to
