Learning to Detect Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder with Language and Speech in Non-Clinical Interviews
(2020-08)Bipolar disorder (BD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are both chronic psychiatric disorders. However, their overlapping symptoms and common comorbidity make it challenging for the clinicians to distinguish ... -
Lithium modulates striatal reward anticipation and prediction error coding in healthy volunteers
(2020-10)Lithium is one of the most effective mood-stabilizing medications in bipolar disorder. This study was designed to test whether lithium administration may stabilize mood via effects on reward processing. It was hypothesized ... -
Longitudinal cognitive performance in patients with Bipolar Disorder
(2020-01)Commentary: Neurocognitive impairments are a rather common occurrence in euthymic Bipolar Disorder (BD) patients. Understanding the degree of longitudinal stability of these deficits is vital in the management and treatment ... -
Mania as a possible complication of immunotherapy
(2020-02)Immunotherapy is still a relatively new cancer therapy and this article serves as a reminder to psychiatric teams to consider immunotherapy as a possible factor in psychiatric presentations. Here, the authors present the ... -
Melatonin In Acute Mania Investigation (MIAMI‐UK). A randomised controlled trial of add‐on melatonin in bipolar disorder
(2020-05)Objectives Current options for treating emergent episodes of hypomania and mania in bipolar disorder are limited. Our objective was to compare the effectiveness and safety of add‐on melatonin in hypomania or mania over ... -
Mental health prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic in individuals with bipolar disorder: Insights from prospective longitudinal data
(2022-03)Many studies have examined the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of the public, but few have focused on individuals with existing severe mental illness with longitudinal data before and during the pandemic. Aims: To ... -
Modelling paralinguistic properties in conversational speech to detect bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder
(2021-02)Bipolar disorder (BD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) are two chronic mental health conditions that clinicians find challenging to distinguish based on clinical interviews, due to their overlapping symptoms. In ... -
Modelling suicide in bipolar disorders: Limitations and opportunities
(2018-07)Commentary on: Malhi GS, Outhred T, Das P et al. Modeling suicide in bipolar disorders. Bipolar Disord. 2018. In their paper in this issue, Malhi et al highlight a key clinical area; whilst suicide rates are increased in ... -
An Overview of Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Bipolar Disorder
(2022-03)Since the conception of bipolar disorder (BD) as a psychiatric condition, sleep and circadian rhythm disruptions have been cardinal symptoms of the disorder. Current nosologies recognise this and such disruptions form part ... -
Patient fibroblast circadian rhythms predict lithium sensitivity in bipolar disorder
(2020-05)Bipolar disorder is a chronic neuropsychiatric condition associated with mood instability, where patients present significant sleep and circadian rhythm abnormalities. Currently, the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder ... -
A phase 2a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, add-on clinical trial of ebselen (SPI-1005) as a novel treatment for mania or hypomania.
(2020-09)Rationale Lithium is an effective prophylactic and anti-manic treatment in bipolar disorder; however, its use is declining through perceived poor tolerance and toxicity. Lithium inhibits inositol monophosphatase (IMPase), ... -
Plasma glutathione suggests oxidative stress is equally present in early- and late- onset bipolar disorder
(2018-03)We previously demonstrated oxidative stress in bipolar patients and a relationship between the age of illness onset and total glutathione, a principal antioxi- dant. In this study, we sought to replicate these findings ... -
Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of coordinate-based network mapping of brain structure in bipolar disorder across the lifespan
(2023-10)Background: Studies about brain structure in bipolar disorder have reported conflicting findings. These findings may be explained by the high degree of heterogeneity within bipolar disorder, especially if structural ... -
Psychosocial markers of age at onset in bipolar disorder: a machine learning approach
(2022-07)Bipolar disorder is a chronic and severe mental health disorder. Early stratification of individuals into subgroups based on age at onset (AAO) has the potential to inform diagnosis and early intervention. Yet, the ... -
A signature-based machine learning model for distinguishing bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder
(2018)Mobile technologies offer new opportunities for prospective, high resolution monitoring of long-term health conditions. The opportunities seem of particular promise in psychiatry where diagnoses often rely on retrospective and ... -
Smoking and the risk for bipolar disorder: evidence from a bidirectional Mendelian randomisation study
(2019-09)Background:There is increasing evidence that smoking is a risk factor for severe mental illness, including bipolar disorder. Conversely, patients with bipolar disorder might smoke more (often) as a result of the psychiatric ... -
Study protocol for a randomised placebo-controlled trial of pramipexole in addition to mood stabilisers for patients with treatment resistant bipolar depression (the PAX-BD study)
(2021-07)Treatment Resistant Bipolar Depression (TRBD) is a major contributor to the burden of disease associated with Bipolar Disorder (BD). Treatment options for people experiencing bipolar depression are limited to three ... -
Voltage-gated calcium channel blockers for psychiatric disorders: genomic reappraisal
(2019-06)We reappraise the psychiatric potential of calcium channel blockers (CCBs). First, voltage-gated calcium channels are risk genes for several disorders. Second, use of CCBs is associated with altered psychiatric risks and ... -
What we learn about bipolar disorder from large-scaleneuroimaging: Findings and future directions from theENIGMA Bipolar Disorder Working Group
(2020-06)MRI-derived brain measures offer a link between genes, the environment and behav-ior and have been widely studied in bipolar disorder (BD). However, many neuroimag-ing studies of BD have been underpowered, leading to varied ...
