    BIPOLAR

    DISORDER
    By: Nabimanya Conrad Super
    MBChB IV
    DEFINITION

    • Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that is divided into Bipolar I and Bipolar II disorder.
    • Mood disorders are those characterized by an abnormal range of emotional states associated
    with a loss of control over them.
    • Bipolar I involves episodes of mania and of major depression; however, episodes of major
    depression are not required for the diagnosis. It is also known as manic-depression.
    • Bipolar II disorder is alternatively called recurrent major depressive episodes with hypomania.
    DEFINITIONS 2

    • Mood episodes are distinct periods of time in which some abnormal mood is present. They include
    depression, mania, and hypomania.
    • Mood disorders are defined by their patterns of mood episodes. They include major depressive disorder
    (MDD), bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and cyclothymic disorder.
    Some may have psychotic features (delusions or hallucinations).
    • Bipolar mixed episode is one where criteria are met for both mania and major depression nearly every day
    during at least a 1-week period.
    • Mania—abnormal mood for at least 1 week unless hospitalization is required; symptoms severe enough to
    impair social/occupational functioning or presence of psychotic symptoms
    • Hypomania—abnormal mood for at least 4 days; symptoms do not significantly impair ability to function
    EPIDEMIOLOGY

    • Lifetime prevalence: 1–2%.


    • Women and men are equally affected.
    • No ethnic differences seen; however, high-income countries have twice the rate of low-income
    countries (1.4% versus 0.7%).
    • Onset usually before age 30, mean age of first mood episode is 18.
    • Frequently misdiagnosed and thereby inappropriately or inadequately treated.
    DIAGNOSIS OF BIPOLAR I (DSM-5)

    • The only requirement for this diagnosis is the occurrence of a manic episode (5% of patients
    experience only manic episodes). Between manic episodes, there may be interspersed euthymia,
    major depressive episodes, or hypomanic episodes, but none of these are required for the
    diagnosis.
    MAJOR DEPRESSIVE EPISODE (DSM-5
    CRITERIA)
    • Must have at least five of the following symptoms 7. Psychomotor agitation or retardation (i.e.,
    (must include either number1 or 2) for at least a 2- restlessness or slowness)
    week period: 8. Fatigue or loss of energy
    1. Depressed mood most of the time 9. Recurrent thoughts of death or suicide
    2. Anhedonia (loss of interest in pleasurable activities) Symptoms are not attributable to the effects of a
    3. Change in appetite or weight (↑ or ↓) substance (drug or medication)
    4. Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt or another medical condition, and they must cause
    5. Insomnia or hypersomnia clinically significant

    6. Diminished concentration distress or social/occupational impairment


    MANIC EPISODE DSM-5 CRITERIA

    • A distinct period of abnormally and persistently sexually) or psychomotor agitation


    elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, and
    4. Less need for sleep
    abnormally and persistently increased goal-directed
    activity or energy, lasting at least 1 week (or any 5. Flight of ideas or racing thoughts
    duration if hospitalization is necessary),and 6. More talkative than usual or pressured speech
    including at least three of the following (four if (rapid and uninterruptible)
    mood is only irritable):
    7. Excessive involvement in pleasurable activities
    1. Distractibility that have a high risk of
    2. Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity 8. negative consequences (e.g., shopping sprees,
    3. ↑ in goal-directed activity (socially, at work, or sexual indiscretions)
    ETIOLOGY OF BIPOLAR I

    Biological, environmental, psychosocial, and genetic factors are all


    important.
    ■■ First-degree relatives of patients with bipolar disorder are 10 times more
    likely to develop the illness.
    ■■ Concordance rates for monozygotic twins are 40–70%, and rates for dizygotic
    twins range from 5 to 25%.
    ■■ Bipolar I has the highest genetic link of all major psychiatric disorders.
    COURSE AND PROGNOSIS OF BIPOLAR I

    • Untreated manic episodes generally last several months.


    • The course is usually chronic with relapses; as the disease progresses, episodes may occur more
    frequently.
    • Ninety percent of individuals after one manic episode will have a repeat mood episode within 5 years.
    • Bipolar disorder has a poorer prognosis than MDD.
    • Maintenance treatment with mood stabilizing medications between episodes helps to decrease the risk
    of relapse.
    • Twenty-five to 50% of people with bipolar disorder attempt suicide, and 10–15% die by suicide.
    MANAGEMENT OF BIPOLAR I

    PHARMACOTHERAPY
    • Lithium; an effective mood stabilizer that reduces both manic episodes and suicidal tendencies
    • Anticonvulsants; carbamazepine & valproate are particularly useful for rapid cycling bipolar
    disorder and those with mixed features.
    • Atypical antipsychotics (risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, ziprasidone) are effective as both
    monotherapy and adjunct therapy for acute mania.
    • Antidepressants are discouraged as monotherapy due to concerns of activating mania or
    hypomania. They are occasionally used to treat depressive episodes when patients concurrently
    take mood Stabilizers.
    CONT.…

    Psychotherapy: Supportive psychotherapy, family therapy, group therapy


    (may prolong remission once the acute manic episode has been
    controlled)
    ECT:
    • Works well in treatment of manic episodes.
    • Some patients require more treatments (up to 20) than for depression.
    • Especially effective for refractory or life-threatening acute mania or depression.
    BIPOLAR II DISORDER

    Alternatively called recurrent major depressive episodes with hypomania


    DIAGNOSIS & DSM-5 CRITERIA
    History of one or more major depressive episodes and at least one hypomanic
    episode. Remember: If there has been a full manic episode, even in the past,
    Then the diagnosis is bipolar I, not bipolar II disorder.
    Etiology
    Same as bipolar I disorder
    EPIDEMIOLOGY OF BIPOLAR II

    • Prevalence is unclear, with some studies > and others < than bipolar I.
    • May be slightly more common in women.
    • Onset usually before age 30.
    • No ethnic differences seen.
    • Frequently misdiagnosed as unipolar depression and thereby inappropriately treated
    BIPOLAR II CONTINUED

    Course and Prognosis


    Tends to be chronic, requiring long-term treatment. Likely better prognosis
    than bipolar I.

    Treatment
    Fewer studies focus on the treatment for bipolar II. Currently, treatment is the
    same as bipolar I disorder
