Vestibular stimulation has been shown to be a very effective noninvasive treatment for major depression. Bipolar disorder is a mental illness that presents cyclic sequences of depressive and euphoric states. Depressive phases of bipolar disorder are difficult to treat and usually are resistant to actual available treatments. This study investigates the effectiveness of a particular technique of vestibular stimulation in a group of 120 bipolar type I and II patients.
