Study Summary
Objective. Bipolar Disorders (BD) are a major public health problem. The investigators still lack knowledge of the mechanisms which contribute to BD. Hence treatments are few and limited, and clinical decision making is less refined. Currently, the investigators are investigating the effects of midday bright light therapy for the treatment of bipolar depression (University of Pittsburgh IRB approved protocol titled Light Therapy for Bipolar Disorder, IRB#: PRO09020546). In this study, the investigators propose to investigate a possible biological mechanism which might explain response to light treatment in depressed bipolar patients.
Primary Outcome
Visual Evoked Potential (VEP). This is a test which is used to assess visual cortical responses. The VEP recordings will be assessed at different contrast levels (80%, 16% and 7%) for the patient groups (BD vs HC). To assess the change in visual cortical responses, we will compare differences in the VEP responses between Weeks 0 and 6 between the groups.
