To investigate the safety for an observation period of 52 weeks with use of Abilify prolonged release aqueous suspension for intramuscular (IM) injection in patients with bipolar I disorder for prevention of recurrence/relapse of mood episodes in the routine clinical setting. The early stage safety after the switching from oral aripiprazole to this IM injection is investigated including extrapyramidal syndrome and malignant syndrome. Information regarding efficacy is collected as well.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
