Bipolar disorder is the most complex psychiatric disorder with different types of mood episodes, subtypes, varied course, and significant co-morbidity. Not surprisingly, this complexity poses unique challenges to clinicians for optimal management of those with bipolar disorder. There has been an explosion of research into the causes and treatment of this condition over the past two decades. It is a daunting task for a practising clinician to make sense of this research and to remain up to date with progress in the understanding of the neurobiology and treatment of bipolar disorder. This book synthesizes and translates the vast array of research knowledge into information that is clinically relevant and meaningful for a clinician. The book provides a comprehensive, yet focused, reference work on bipolar disorder for both trainees and practising psychiatrists. The two editors are leaders in the field who have published extensively on bipolar disorder. They have assembled a team of experts from around the world: in many instances, chapters are co-authored by people from different continents, bringing a truly international perspective to this important topic. The book covers the basic science of the pathology underlying bipolar disorder but addresses the clinical aspects of the disease throughout. The book comprises four sections: -Descriptive Aspectsissues ranging from how the concept of bipolar disorder has evolved over the years to new information about neurocognitive impairment, creativity and economic productivity, and to discussion of the deliberations of the DSM-V committee on changes in diagnostic categories and criteria.-Biologythe contribution of genes to this disorder, changes in circadian rhythms, what we know about brain changes and the role of oxidative stress.-Biological Treatment and Psychosocial Treatment all the latest information about pharmacological and psychological treatments and the optimal management of this condition. If you want to provide state-of-the-art care to your bipolar patients, be sure to consult this authoritative reference.

Preface

Bipolar disorder is a relatively recent concept, which emerged in the middle of the 20th century. However, bipolar disorder is not a new disease. Indeed, Aretaeus of Cappadocia, in his descriptions, captured the essence of the nature and course of mood changes of mania and depression almost 2000 years ago.

The objective of this book is to describe the clinical and neurobiological foundations of the modern concept of bipolar disorder as defined by the American Psychiatric Associations Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders and the International Classification of Diseases. In order to capture both the American and the international perspectives, the editors deliberately chose authors from different continents for most chapters.

The book is divided into four sections. The first section covers the descriptive aspects of the disorder. This section begins with an historical overview of the evolution of the concept of bipolar disorder. While Dr. Healy admits that bipolar disorder is a distinct clinical entity, he argues that the boundaries of the modern concept of bipolar disorder have been shaped primarily by the interests of the industry over the past 15 years. The next two chapters review clinical features, course and outcome in the context of new data and suggest that depressive symptoms dominate the course of bipolar disorder and that the disorder is chronic for a significant proportion of patients. Comorbidity is the rule rather than an exception for bipolar patients and this chapter illustrates some of the common comorbidities patients with bipolar disorder experience. Dr. Fawcett then outlines the DSM-V process and some of the issues that the DSM-V will address with regard to classification of bipolar disorder in the next chapter. The remaining chapters in this section emphasize that bipolar disorder is common, associated with cognitive impairment in a significant proportion of patients, that suicide risk is high, and that the disorder is associated with significant economic burden. This section also contains a fascinating review of the geniusinsanity debate.

The biological aspects section begins with an overview of the neurobiology of bipolar disorder by Robert Post. Subsequent chapters address in greater detail some of the following questions: what is the current status with regard to the search for bipolar susceptibility genes? What brain regions and brain chemicals are altered in bipolar patients? Are changes in neurotransmitters and neurohormones still relevant or are changes in post-receptor signalling pathways more critical to the neurobiology of bipolar disorder? Is bipolar disorder associated with oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction or alterations in biological rhythms?

Treatment adherence is a major challenge in the management of bipolar disorder. Thus, the section on management begins with an overview of reasons for non-adherence and strategies to improve adherence. This is followed by a series of chapters that describe the current status of the pharmacological management of various phases and subtypes of bipolar disorder. This section also contains chapters that review the role of novel treatments, somatic treatments, and safety monitoring, as well as the role of psychological treatments as adjuncts to pharmacotherapy.
