Clinical Professor
Psychiatry
Dr. Charles Bowden, clinical professor in the departments of psychiatry and pharmacology who occupies the Nancy U. Karren Endowed Chair in Psychiatry, is an internationally respected authority on bipolar disorder and mood-stabilizing medications. He is recognized in the Psychiatry/Psychology category.
Dr. Bowden’s research has defined the symptoms and biology of bipolar disorders, and he has contributed major new understandings about the effectiveness and biochemical and physiological effects of mood-stabilizing drugs. He has studied many of the newest treatments for bipolar disorder in tightly designed, randomized, controlled clinical trials that have allowed their approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and wide dissemination to patients.

Nonlinear Computation Tool to Chart Trajectories of Bipolar DisorderStatus
ActivePeriod
7/2010 - 6/2017Role
Co-Principal InvestigatorGrant Detail
The goal of this project is to complete the development of a patient-centered software system and mobile app to assist in managing bipolar disorder. The applicants have developed a brief self-rating tool (KIOS) to determine the precise clinical state of a person with bipolar disorder. KIOS also produces advice specific to the patient?s condition to help manage the course of the disease. In the Phase II component of this work, we will conduct a randomized, open 16 week study to assess the performance of KIOS in identifying changes in clinical state, improving illness course, and facilitating both patient and clinician initiated changes in lifestyle, social relationships, medications for bipolar disorders, and overall well-being. This multi-site trial is being performed under the direction of Dr. Charles Bowden at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio with concurrent sites at the University of Louisville and the Lindner Center of HOPE/University of Cincinnati. The sample size for this study is 120 (40 per site) and the duration is 16 weeks. The Phase II work will also refine KIOS software to facilitate patient and clinician use of KIOS displays of the course of bipolar symptoms and the guidance on self-management.Funding Agency

Optimizing Outcomes in Bipolar illness Interventions in Hispanic CommunitiesStatus
CompletePeriod
9/2011 - 6/2016Role
Principal InvestigatorGrant Detail
An Advanced Center for Interventions and/or Service Research was established to conduct research that will personalize community based treatment of bipolar disorders to improve outcomes. We will investigate interactions of cultural factors, adherence and engagement, behavioral domains and biological factors with outcomes, thereby providing a model that can transform current diagnostic and treatment paradigms for bipolar disorder. A major aim of this proposal is to better develop our understanding of bipolar disorder in the Hispanic American population, in particular the impact of acculturation on adherence to treatment programs. These efforts will equip us to serve as a national resource to advance the NIMH mission of reducing the burden of bipolar illness and improve outcomes through the efforts of research about treatments and their acceptability to patients, and broadly disseminate this research for the purposes of improving clinical care, public education and public health planning. -
