Study Summary

Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a common and highly debilitating psychiatric disorder, however, the predisposing brain mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, the investigators will conduct a proof of concept study that will examine the effect of electroencephalography (EEG)-guided theta burst stimulation (TBS) on reducing mania/hypomania-related affect and reward driven behavior in adults with BD. The investigators hypothesize that TBS will reduce mania/hypomania-related affect and reward driven behavior in adults with BD.

Primary Outcome

The difference in brain activity (Beta power) in left vLPFC from pre TBS to post TBS. Higher numbers indicate more brain activity after TBS, while lower numbers indicate less brain activity (Beta power) after TBS.

Interventions

  • DEVICE Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS)
  • DEVICE Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS)
