This study aimed to evaluate clinical comorbidity in children and adolescents with Internet addiction by using structured interview. ⋯ By structured interview, we found that Internet-addicted subjects had various comorbid psychiatric disorders. The most closely related comorbidities differ with age. Though we can not conclude that Internet addiction is a cause or consequence of these disorders, clinicians must consider the possibility of age-specific comorbid psychiatric disorders in cases of Internet addiction.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Quetiapine in the treatment of anxiety in patients with bipolar I or II depression: a secondary analysis from a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Quetiapine monotherapy shows efficacy in bipolar depression. The analyses in this multicenter, double-blind, randomized, fixed-dose, placebo-controlled study evaluated effects of quetiapine monotherapy on anxiety symptoms in bipolar depression. ⋯ Quetiapine monotherapy shows efficacy in treating anxiety symptoms in bipolar I depression; however, the anxiolytic effects in bipolar II disorder require further investigation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, prophylaxis study of adjunctive gabapentin for bipolar disorder.
To conduct the first randomized, controlled trial assessing the prophylactic efficacy of gabapentin in bipolar disorder. ⋯ This small, randomized clinical trial comparing the prophylactic efficacy of adjunctive gabapentin to placebo suggests that, despite lack of acute efficacy, treatment with gabapentin might provide some benefit on the long-term outcome of bipolar disorder.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A randomized controlled trial of cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder: focus on long-term change.
This study reports the outcome of a randomized controlled trial of cognitive therapy (CT) for bipolar disorder. The treatment protocol differed from other published forms of CT for bipolar disorder through the addition of emotive techniques. ⋯ Our findings corroborate previous bipolar disorder research in demonstrating the value of CT, particularly immediately post-treatment, and indicate some continuation (albeit diminishing) of benefits in the succeeding 12 months. These findings suggest that psychological booster sessions may be crucial for maintaining the beneficial effects of cognitive therapy.
