Abstract
Bipolar depression is treated wrongly as unipolar depression, on average, for 8 years. It is shown that this mismedication affects the occurrence of a manic episode and aggravates the overall condition of patients with bipolar depression. Significant effort was invested in early detection of depression and forecasting of responses to certain therapeutic approaches using a combination of features extracted from standard and online testing, wearables monitoring, and machine learning. In the case of unipolar depression, this approach yielded evidence that this data-based computational psychiatry approach would be helpful in clinical practice. Following a similar pipeline, we examined the usefulness of this approach to foresee a manic episode in bipolar depression, so that clinicians and family of the patient can help patient navigate through the time of crisis. Our projects combined the results from self-reported daily questionnaires, the data obtained from smart watches, and the data from regular reports from standard psychiatric interviews to feed various machine learning models to predict a crisis in bipolar depression. Contrary to satisfactory predictions in unipolar depression, we found that bipolar depression, having more complex dynamics, requires personalized approach. A previous work on physiological complexity (complex variability) suggests that an inclusion of electrophysiological data, properly quantified, might lead to better solutions, as shown in other projects of our group concerning unipolar depression. Here, we make a comparison of previously performed research in a methodological sense, revisiting and additionally interpreting our own results showing that the methodological approach to mania forecasting may be modified to provide an accurate prediction in bipolar depression.
Introduction
Those who suffer from bipolar depressive disorder (BDD) are often misdiagnosed with unipolar depression and treated as such in average for 8 years (; ). In addition, there are findings suggesting that antidepressant medication can aggravate their condition (; ). Bipolar disorder in its various forms affects 2.4% of the population of the world (World Mental Health Survey, 2011; ). It is a recurrent mood disorder that produces everything from extreme euphoria to severe depression. It is accompanied by alterations in thought and behavior and can produce psychotic symptoms, such as delusions and hallucinations. People who suffer from it have a high risk of suicide, 20 times more than general population (). Even with treatment, more than a third of patients will suffer at least one relapse in the first year after diagnosis and more than 60% will have a new crisis in the first 2 years. It is a disease that typically appears during adolescence or early adulthood, affecting the person throughout his/her entire life (). Pharmacological treatment is the main pillar in the approach to this debilitating disease. It aims to shorten crises and prevent their occurrence but the medication has serious side effects, especially at high doses. It is therefore particularly important to detect the onset of a crisis as soon as possible. Rapid treatment of a new crisis can make a big difference in the overall effectiveness. However, this early detection is very difficult from a current standardized clinical approach. At the beginning of a crisis, the symptoms and changes can be very subtle, almost impossible to notice. It is very challenging to differentiate between unipolar and bipolar depression. We showed that the detection of unipolar depression is possible by combination of machine learning and non-linear characterization of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals (,,; ). Additionally, we demonstrated that with the same methodological approach, it is possible to differentiate between two phases of the disease, episode, and remission (), which can have immense significance for clinical decisions.
A common denominator at the onset of crises is the change in sleep and activity pattern. Weeks before the crisis, there are always changes in these variables (). The early detection of these changes would allow for the improved possibility of social and occupational integration of the patients and would also allow for the decrease of the dose of drug needed for stabilization.
In our previous work, we dealt with prediction of the occurrence of crisis in BDD based on actigraphy measurements combined with standard reports from psychiatrists and self-report data obtained from outpatients via a mobile application (, , ). We used a number of methods for feature selection and a number of machine learning models that were previously applied in similar detection tasks (). In conclusion, we stated that this methodology led to a real precision medicine application. It was shown that non-linear analysis of electrophysiological data could be used for monitoring state of patients with bipolar depression (; ; ; ; ). Spectral and non-linear biomarkers extracted from ECG are corresponding to the aberrations of the autonomous nervous system (ANS) of patients, but also to the severity of the disease. The relation between variability of heart rate (VHR) and depression is well described (, , ). Based on the non-linear analysis of ECG (as a robust marker of vagal control), it is possible to differentiate between comorbid disorders () or subtypes of depression (), and to point to the unreported suicidal ideation (), an information of enormous significance for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. We argue here that electrophysiological data (ECG measured by portable monitoring device) as a source of detection and forecast, properly characterized by non-linear measures, can be a game changer. We revisited and additionally interpret some of our already published data, important for developing an accurate warning system for the proximity of the crisis, allowing timely and appropriate action.
Comparative Analysis and Discussion
Our main aim in the most recent publication was to isolate relevant variables for BDD (irritability and duration of sleep turned out to be the most significant) and discover the relations between them (). Being successful in the detection of unipolar depression states/phases, we applied the same method to BDD and revealed quite different dynamics of the disease with more phases than in unipolar depression (). According to our results (based on accumulated clinical observations and advanced analytics), there are five distinct states with as many intermediary (bidirectional) states in BDD dynamics, described by directed graph approach (for more details of our methodology, please consult the original publication, ). We could not discuss all aspects of our results, due to the scope and the limitations of the journal. In this retrospective analysis together with additional interpretation of those results, we are discussing suggestions for improvement of the future methodology that might lead to a simpler solution, more attractive to clinicians. Due to very complex dynamics of bipolar depression, the personal analysis of every single case is still required, as in the classical personalized approach (). Other research aiming at forecasting for BDD, also concluded that the time series extracted from similarly collected data are not possible to generalize since they are very heterogenous; this is actually preventing the automated mood forecasting in BDD (). Moore and colleagues reported that for some patients the mania scores were always zero during the monitoring period, which is probably the effect of medication. Figure 1 shows the periods for defined states (depression, euthymia, manic, or mixed) in which some patients were, as well as the evolution of self-report variable D irritability and the actigraph variable S sleep efficiency. For detailed definitions of states, please consult original publication (). From Figure 1, we can see different dynamics in four different patients; P03 exhibited mania and mixed state, P04 experienced euthymia and mixed state, P06 exhibited all possible states in the same period, while P09 was in the phases of long euthymia and mania, with a brief phase of depression. Although these four persons are all diagnosed with the same clinical entity, it is difficult to compare their dynamics as they are so different. Knowing that the mood (or states, as we labeled them) is the outcome of many complex physiological processes (that generate series of sequential data), the problem of forecasting seems to be more complicated than previously thought [in various artificial intelligence (AI) applications]. Addition of physiological complexity (fractal and non-linear) analysis to this methodology, based on our interpretation coming from Information theory, may improve the characterization of their states leading to better crisis prediction.
FIGURE 1
One of the first authors to write about the quantitative assessment strategies in mood disorders, Steven M. Pincus, introduced a novel understanding of physiological complexity, based on his rich experience with deciphering hormonal dynamics. Pincus argues that we should pay closer attention to time series that reflect essential physiological information, for there is very important history of the data, i.e., the order of samples in the time series. Pincus is the author of the Approximate Entropy algorithm (ApEn), which is a model-independent quantification of the regularity (complexity) of the data (
Here, we propose two classes of methodology improvements that can result in more feasible solution for forecasting of manic episodes.
The first one is to add to the method the recording of ECG from the patients with BDD, with portable monitoring devices with medical-grade quality of signal. There are plenty of solutions, such as recording from the fingers, or from the wrists; to perform sufficiently accurate analysis, the recording from the chest is required. The signal should be analyzed by some of the abovementioned non-linear methods, irregularity statistics (entropy-based) and some form of fractal analysis. This kind of characterization of signal would eventually lead to much better prediction. The aim is to connect the values of certain measures/variables to certain diagnostic entities and their phases.
We are proposing recording of portable ECG, and not EEG (that was used for many EEG based depression detection in literature, among others,
An example from our publication (

The second part of our proposition for further improvement of approach to prediction would be in connection to ML models. We were using various forms of supervised learning to learn from the data. The authors who are dealing with more theoretical approach to computational psychiatry (
