The purpose for this study is to determine whether psycho-education in groups is more effective than individual psycho-education for patients with bipolar disorder.
The main aim of the study is to compare the effects of psycho-education in groups with short individual psycho-education.
It is a randomized controlled trial including Bipolar 1 and 2 patients in a stable euthymic phase. 42 or 43 patients will receive group education in 10 weekly sessions and then a session every third month for two years. 42 or 43 patients will receive three individual sessions of education. Symptoms, admittances to hospital and function will be followed for two years.
