Effect of the dual mood stabilizers combined with psychotherapy on impulsive and aggressive behaviors and brain CT imaging in patients with bipolar disorder
Objective To analyze the effects of dual mood stabilizers combined with psychotherapy on impulsive and aggressive behaviors,psychological resilience,and brain computed tomography(CT)imaging in patients with bipolar disorder(BD).Methods A total of 74 BD patients admitted from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and randomly assigned into the control group and study group,with 37 cases per group.Dual mood stabilizers were applied to both groups,and psychotherapy was additionally given to the study group.The treatment effects,impulsive and aggressive behaviors,psychological resilience,and brain CT imaging data were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group(94.59%vs 75.68%,P<0.05)After treatment,the scores of physical attack,language attack,self-attack,and attack of objects in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of strength,resilience,and optimism in the study group were significantly higher compared to those of the control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the Hastelloy index(HI)and the third ventricle width(TVW)levels in the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group,while the ventricular index(VI)and left ventricular basal integral(LVBI)levels were significantly higher(P<0.05).Conclusion Dual mood stabilizers combined with psychotherapy in the treatment of BD is beneficial to improving efficacy,brain function and psychological resilience,and reducing impulsive and aggressive behaviors.
