Post test Question 2
The most commonly diagnosed personality disorder in
bipolar disorder is
1. Avoidant Personality Disorder
2. Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder
3. Borderline Personality Disorder
4. Histrionic Personality Disorder
5. Schizotypal Personality Disorder
Epidemiology • Bipolar I: range from 0.5% to 7.5%.
Bipolar II > bipolar I
• Frequently misdiagnosed as recurrent major depression
• The estimated life time prevalence of bipolar spectrum is as high
as 4%.
• Men = female
• Bipolar II : female > male
• The majority of cases have an onset before the age of 30.
Cost of Bipolar Disorder
BAD is not only a chronic, severe psychiatric disorder,but also expensive to treat and expensive to society.
WHO report , BAD ranked :• 6th in the top 10 causes of disability worldwide in the 15-to 44-year age
group.
• 3rd among mental illnesses after unipolar major depression andschizophrenia as the source of disease burden in established marketeconomies. (Murray & Lopez, 1996)

Cost of Misdiagnosis
Cost of Comorbidity
Indirect Cost
Psychosocial Consequences of Bipolar Disorder
• Greater unemployment rate (6 times greater than US average)
• Negative impact on relationships of patients with
bipolar disorder
• 38-68% disruption in family relationships
• 49% marital difficulties
• 73% job and school-related problems
• Higher divorce rate (vs general population)
• 23.5% of patients with bipolar disorder (compared
with 11.95%)

Bipolar Disorder:Subtypes
• Mixed Mania
• Simultaneous mania and depression
• May be > 40% prevalence of episodes*
• Rapid Cycling
• > 4 episodes/year
• Bipolar II
• Hypomania (< 4 days duration) alternating with depression
• Secondary Mania
• e.g., drugs, tumor, CVA, lupus, endocrine, infectious, Huntington’s, Wilson’s
Problems of bipolar disorder
• Recurrent long-term illness
• Misdiagnosis
• Suicide risk:
• At least 25% attempt suicide
• Suicide rate: 11-19%
• 25-50% suicidal ideation in mixed mania
• Co morbidity complications
• Psychosocial consequences

Misdiagnosis is common in bipolar disorder
• ~70% of patients are initially misdiagnosed
• Most frequent misdiagnoses:
• Major depressive disorder – 60%
• Anxiety disorder – 26%
• Schizophrenia – 18%, schizoaffective disorder – 11%
• Borderline/antisocial personality disorder – 17%
• Substance abuse or dependence – 14%
• Bipolar-II identified late after initial unipolar depression diagnosis

Clinical Features that predict Bipolarity
Early age of onset
Psychotic depression before age 25
Postpartum, seasonal onset
Rapid onset
More than 5 episodes of depression
Cyclothymic, hyperthymic personality traits
Switching or lack of efficacy with antidepressants
Mixed depressive states
Family history of bipolar disorder or several generations with depression
Reverse vegetative symptoms (overeating, oversleeping)
“Pseudo-Unipolar” Forms
• Bipolar II (major depressive and hypomanic episodes).
• Bipolar III (major depressive episodes and antidepressant-associated hypomania).
• Bipolar IV (major depressive episodes superimposed on hyperthymic temperament).
• Other Candidates: Recurrent depressions with abrupt onset and offset; seasonal depressions, even without discernible hypomanic episodes.
Okasha 2008
Other Conditions Considered for Inclusion in the Bipolar Spectrum
• Episodic obsessive-compulsive forms.
• Periodic states of irritability.
• Acute suicidal crises in the absence of clear-cut affective symptoms.
• Cyclical neurasthenic or sleep complaints.
• Severe brief recurrent depressions.
• Impulse-ridden behaviours in the realms of control of aggression, gambling and paraphilias.

Conditions whose Boundaries with Bipolar Disorder are Regarded as
Uncertain
• Schizoaffective disorder
• Borderline personality disorder
• Substance use disorders
• Adult-attention-deficit/hyperactivitydisorder

Suicide risk in bipolar disorder
• Suicide is a particular risk in patients with bipolar disorder
• Completed suicide occurs in 10–15% of patients with bipolar I
disorder1
• 30–60 fold higher than in the general population2
• Risk of suicide is particularly high during the first years after
diagnosis1
• Suicidal ideation or attempts in individuals with bipolar disorder
are more likely to occur during depressive or mixed episodes1

Steps to improve diagnosis
Leverich & Post 1998; Hirschfeld et al 2000; Benazzi 2002
Accurate history tracking
Close monitoring of mood changes
Systematic probing for manic and depressive symptoms

22. Other Conditions (v codes)
• The first change in the DSM-V that will affect people
with bipolar disorder is the categorization.
• Instead of being classified as a mood disorder,
bipolar disorder is now in the category of “bipolar
and related disorders.”
• Depressive disorders are now in their own category,
instead of being in the mood disorder category with
bipolar disorder.
Changes to Bipolar Disorder Treatment in the New
DSM-5
• Mixed episodes have also been eliminated. Instead of
labeling an episode as mixed, the provider will now
have the option to specify a manic or depressive
episode with a certain specification, “with mixed
features” attached to it.
Changes to Bipolar Disorder Treatment in the New
DSM-5
• A bipolar 2 diagnosis can now include episodes with
mixed features.
• According to past editions of the manual, a person
who had mixed episodes would not be diagnosed
with bipolar 2. This change has made it easier to put
people in less severe categories than bipolar 1.
Changes to Bipolar Disorder Treatment in the New
DSM-5
Face the Facts
• Bipolar disorder is serious and relatively common.
• Bipolar disorder is a life long disease with
unpredictable episodes.
• Bipolar disorder is a progressive disease causing
impairment in neuroplasticity /cellular resilience with
systemic consequences.

Bipolar Disorder: Treatment Challenges
• Can be difficult to diagnose
• Complicated to treat
• Polypharmacy is a standard of care
• High morbidity and mortality
• Recurrent illness in >90% of patients care
• Functional recovery often lags behind symptomatic
recovery
• Recurrent episodes may lead to progressive deterioration in
functioning
• Number of episodes may affect subsequent treatment
response and prognosis
