Abstract :
The paper describes an innovative intelligence information system of systems that can be used within the context of psychotherapy with individuals with depressive and bipolar disorders. The system achieves the following: (a) reveals psychological/behavioral and physiological patterns of the disorders which will aid with diagnosing and long term prognosis; (b) provides information to therapists which will aid with treatment planning and improve treatment effectiveness and (c) provides both patients and therapists with services to improve their quality of life and enrich their professional experience respectively. The system through a closed-loop approach, further contributes in managing high-risk situations often associated with these disorders and significantly decreasing the potential risk for suicide.
