Theoretical time course of behavioral activation before and after goal-attainment life events. Among nondisturbed individuals (A), behavioral activation increases during the pre-attainment phase and then reduces to baseline as individuals switch to “coasting” after goal attainment. Among individuals with bipolar disorder (B), behavioral activation may also increase during striving but then continue to increase even after goal attainment.
