Others target mood centers by stimulating cranial nerves on the forehead and neck.
These include provision of more intensive counseling, higher doses of NRT or combination therapy, and cessation medications that also target mood (i.e., varenicline and bupropion) [ 2, 11, 15, 28, 39].
The survey items [see Additional file 1 – Respite Survey] were based on current literature and previous qualitative work undertaken by the authors with questions targeting mood, sociability, physical activity, physical health, activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL adapted from existing tools [ 34- 37].
In order to reflect the prescription patterns shown by a recent nationwide survey that includes data from our clinic (Baek et al. 2014), treatment with the most commonly used mood stabilizers, i.e., valproate and lithium, was selected as target mood stabilizer treatment.
In general, these techniques are effective in inducing the target mood, although amenable to confirmation only with subjective indices.
Treatment of poor sleep quality between episodes is a frequent clinical problem, and targets for improving sleep quality, in addition to targeting residual mood symptoms, may improve outcomes in BD.
Third, our suggestions about the possible effects of interventions targeting depressed mood and especially BMI are hypothetical and cannot be confirmed based on the results of the present study.
The data also suggest that targeted interventions for mood instability may be useful in patients who do not have a formal affective disorder.
CONCLUSIONS The new combination treatment represents a promising exemplar for theory-based, individually targeted, multimodal intervention in mood disorders.
So, what should businesses keep in mind when targeting consumers by mood?
In addition, mitochondria are a target for mood stabilizers such as lithium and valproate [52] and for antidepressant drugs [53], primarily MAO inhibitors.
