PSYCHIATRIC DISORDER THERAPY CONTROL
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- delivering psychiatric disorder therapy to a patient via a medical device according to a therapy program;
monitoring a physiological parameter of the patient in response to the psychiatric disorder therapy, wherein the physiological parameter comprises at least one of a respiratory rate, electrodermal activity, thermal activity or muscle activity;
determining a patient mood state based on the physiological parameter; and
controlling the delivery of the psychiatric disorder therapy based on the determined patient mood state.

Abstract
A therapy system for managing a psychiatric disorder of the patient may be controlled based on a patient mood state. Therapy may be delivered to a patient according to a therapy program, and a physiological parameter of the patient may be monitored during or after therapy delivery. The patient mood state may be determined based on the monitored physiological parameter, and the therapy delivery may be controlled based on the determined mood state. In some embodiments, the therapy delivery is stopped prior to determining the patient mood state and the therapy delivery is restarted upon detecting a negative mood state. In other embodiments, therapy delivery is delivered until a positive mood state is detected, at which point the therapy delivery may be stopped.
