Purpose
The study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled 8-week adjunctive trial of pioglitazone for the acute relief of bipolar depression. All subjects will also meet criteria for insulin resistance (IR). The primary objective is to test the hypothesis that adjunctive pioglitazone is more effective than placebo for the relief of acute depressive symptoms resulting from bipolar disorder that is co-occurring with insulin resistance.
