Bipolar Disorder

Abstract

BD was traditionally conceptualized in the frame of mood (affective) disorders until its separation from unipolar depression by DSM-5. This long history caused much of the research to focus indiscriminately on ‘mood disorders’ by pooling together bipolar and unipolar patients in study samples. Bipolar depression was not studied separately from unipolar for too long, and mania was not the intensive focus of research.
