INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
This study aims to stabilize the patients with bipolar disorder (BD) comorbid with obesity in the stable phase by using temporal interference stimulation (TIS ) intervention. It intends to investigate the changes in key metabolic molecules such as GLP-1 circadian rhythm, and further explore the molecular mechanism of their metabolic disorders.

- All included researchers and their family members have given informed consent for this study.
Exclusion Criteria8
- /5000
- Individuals with other DSM-5 spectrum disorders;
- Mental disorders caused by substance abuse (such as alcohol, drugs, etc.), and those with severe physical illnesses;

Interventions
TIS treatment lasts for 20 minutes, with the maximum output current being 2mA, which is adjusted according to the individual head model. The two pairs of electrical stimulation frequencies in tTIS are 1000Hz and 1040Hz.
The stimulus intensity was 20% of MT in the Sham Comparator arm, and the remaining parameters werethe same as the Active Comparator arm.
