Bipolar Disorder: Diagnosis, Neuroanatomical and Biochemical Background

چکیده
Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that is characterized by episodes of mania or hypomania that often alternate with episodes of depression. Bipolar disorder is also referred to as manic-depressive disorder and bipolar affective disorder. This potentially disabling mood disorder has a lifetime prevalence of 4% in the US population (Ketter, 2010). According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), bipolar disorder is classified as severe in 82.9% of adult patients, with 25 being the average age of onset. As is the case with the majority of psychiatric disorders, bipolar disorder tends to run in families (Smoller and Finn, 2003).
