Abstract
- Bipolar mood disorders affect 2-4% of the population and have a high rate of recurrence. - Manic and depressive episodes can be severe, and despite treatment there are often more residual symptoms and functional impairment between episodes than generally assumed. - In recent years some advances have been made in pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. However, insight into the neurobiological and genetical aspects of bipolar mood disorders is still limited.
