Differences between unipolar mania and bipolar ‐I disorder: Evidence from nine epidemiological studies
ConclusionsThe significant differences found in gender and comorbidity between mania and BP ‐I suggest that unipolar mania, despite its low prevalence, should be established as a separate diagnosis both for clinical and research purposes. In clinical settings, the rarer occurrence of suicide attempts, anxiety and drug use disorders among individuals with unipolar mania may facilitate suc cessful treatment of the disorder and lead to a more favorable course than that of BP‐I disorder.This article is protected by copyright.

Compliance with the guidelines for laboratory monitoring of patients treated with lithium: a retrospective follow ‐up study among ambulatory patients in the Netherlands
ConclusionA considerable proportion of patients had not been monitored in accordance with the guidelines. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for noncompliance and to implement strategies with the ultimate goal of optimizing safety and effectiveness for patients treated with lithium.This article is protected by copyright.

Reduced Lateral Orbitofrontal Cortex (OFC) Volume and Suicide Behavior in Youth with Bipolar Disorder
ConclusionsThe OFC is involved in decision ‐making, impulsivity, and reward circuitry which have shown to be impaired in BD. Reduced OFC volume and its association with lethality of suicide suggest that suicide behavior in BD may be related to the emerging neuroanatomical substrates of the disorder, particularly abnormalities of the OFC.This article is protected by copyright.

Deficits in frontoparietal activation and anterior insula functional connectivity during regulation of cognitive ‐affective interference in bipolar disorder
ConclusionsOur findings show disruptions in cognitive regulation and inhibitory control in BD patients in the presence of irrelevant affective distractors. Results of this study suggest one pathway to dysregulation in BD is through inefficient integration of affective and cognitive information, and highlight the importance of developing interventions that target emotion ‐cognition integration in BD.

Neural signatures of the risk for Bipolar Disorder: a meta ‐analysis of structural and functional neuroimaging studies
ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that increased brain volume and activation are present in RELs and may represent intermediate phenotypes for the disorder. Furthermore, some neural changes including increased rIFG volume may be associated with the resilience to BD.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Bipolar Disorders)
