The dual aims of this study were to prospectively investigate: (a) the trajectory of QoL under guideline-driven treatment and (b) the dynamic relationship between mood symptoms and QoL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291717002495_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 362 patients with BD receiving guideline-driven treatment were prospectively followed at 3-month intervals for up to 5 years. Mental (Mental Component Score \u2013 MCS) and physical (Physical Component Score \u2013 PCS) QoL were measured using the self-report SF-36. Clinician-rated symptom data were recorded for mania and depression. Multilevel modelling was used to analyse MCS and PCS over time, QoL trajectories predicted by time-lagged symptoms, and symptom trajectories predicted by time-lagged QoL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291717002495_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>MCS exhibited a positive trajectory, while PCS worsened over time. Investigation of temporal relationships between QoL and symptoms suggested bidirectional effects: earlier depressive symptoms were negatively associated with mental QoL, and earlier manic symptoms were negatively associated with physical QoL. Importantly, earlier MCS and PCS were both negatively associated with downstream symptoms of mania and depression.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291717002495_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The present investigation illustrates real-world outcomes for QoL under guideline-driven BD treatment: improvements in mental QoL and decrements in physical QoL were observed. The data permitted investigation of dynamic interactions between QoL and symptoms, generating novel evidence for bidirectional effects and encouraging further research into this important interplay. Investigation of relevant time-varying covariates (e.g. medications) was beyond scope. Future research should investigate possible determinants of QoL and the interplay between symptoms and wellbeing\/satisfaction-centric measures of QoL.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291717002495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,18]],"date-time":"2017-09-18T03:12:39Z","timestamp":1505704359000},"page":"1111-1118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Quality of life in bipolar disorder: towards a dynamic understanding"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Morton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Murray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E.
