Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the correlation between medication adherence and functioning in individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) and the predictors of functionality. METHOD This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 145 individuals with BD type I. Data were collected using a Patient Information Form, the Medication Adherence Rating Scale, and Functioning Assessment Short Test. RESULTS Findings showed that most participants did not take medication as prescribed. Medication adherence was negatively correlated with functionality. Predictors of functionality were years of treatment, number of hospitalizations, working status, medication adherence, family history of mental illness, and history of suicide. CONCLUSION Medication nonadherence is a fundamental problem for individuals with BD. Nursing interventions to increase functionality and medication adherence among this at-risk group should be planned and implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND By analyzing the current status and influencing factors of medication adherence in adolescent patients with major depressive episode, this study aimed to provide more evidence on clinical medication treatment of such patients. METHODS This was a retrospective study. A total of 218 adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) admitted to the mental health center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from June 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the study subjects. The 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ-8) was used to group the patients. All of the patients were collected in accordance with general sociological characteristics and disease characteristics. Conducted χ2 test, t-test, and binary logistic regression analysis. p values less than 0.05 indicated statistically significant differences. RESULTS A total of 218 adolescents with MDD were included in this study. The average score of MAQ-8 was 4.44 ± 2.09, of which 139 (63.76%) with a score less than 6 were included in the medication non-adherence group. Six to eight points with 79 cases (36.24%) were included in the medication compliance group. Family economic status (odds ratio (OR) = 6.211, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.761-13.974), family history (OR = 2.298, 95% CI 1.043-5.062), course of diseases (OR = 2.107, 95% CI 1.002-4.429), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) score (OR = 2.303, 95% CI 1.043-5.084), drug side effects (OR = 7.139, 95% CI 3.257-15.647), attitude to treatment (OR = 2.583, 95% CI 1.221-5.466), and satisfaction with doctors (OR = 2.338, 95% CI 1.08-5.064) were the effect of medication adherence. CONCLUSION Severe depression of adolescent patients with poor medication compliance, as well as influencing factors, including family economic conditions, family history, course of diseases, BDI score, and drug side effects, were clinically investigated to formulate corresponding measures and improve patients' medication adherence.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine relationship between functioning and life satisfaction with illness management and recovery, and determinants of illness management and recovery in patients with bipolar disorder. This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 152 participants between August 2022 and February 2023. "Personal Information Form", "Illness Management and Recovery Scale", "Functioning Assessment Short Test" and "Adult Life Satisfaction Scale" were used to collecting data. In study, a positive relationship was found between illness management and recovery and total functionality, autonomy, cognitive functionality, interpersonal relationships, and life satisfaction. Gender, marital status, educational status, employment status, total functioning, autonomy, cognitive functioning, interpersonal relationships, and life satisfaction were found to be effective in illness management and recovery. Being female, single, primary school graduate, unemployed, having low functioning (autonomy, cognitive functioning, interpersonal relationships) and having low life satisfaction were found to be determinants of illness management and recovery.

The purpose of early maladaptive schemas (EMS) in the relationship dysfunction among people with bipolar disorder in the euthymic phase. L'ENCEPHALE 2024; 50:265-274. [PMID: 37604720 DOI: 10.1016/j.encep.2023.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/08/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although free from characterized manic and depressive episodes, the euthymic period in bipolar disorder (BD) remains characterized by a whole host of difficulties, particularly relational. These difficulties are factors of vulnerabilities and relapses. People's perception of their own relationships has an impact on their symptomatology, their responses to treatment and on relapse rates. Young's early maladaptive schemas (EMS) approach proves to be relevant for understanding the construction of these perceptions and working on them. Nevertheless, to this date, few studies have investigated which EMS are related to relationship dysfunction in this particular population. Determining the link between EMS and relationship difficulties would be relevant to understand psychosocial impairment of people with BD in euthymic states. The present study aims to investigate the associations between the different domains of EMS and relationship dysfunction among patients with bipolar disorder in the euthymic phase. METHODS Data are extracted from the FACE-BD cohort, within the BD Expert Center in Versailles. Inclusion criteria were to be aged between 18 and 65 and to be an outpatient with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (DSM-IV-TR). Patients had to be euthymic at the time of inclusion, according to DSM-IV-TR criteria with a cut-off score of 14 on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale and the Young Mania Rating Scale. Non-inclusion criteria were meeting at the time of the study the criteria for characteristic depressive episode, hypomania or mania according to the DSM-IV-TR. Sociodemographic data, clinical features associated with relationship dysfunction were assessed. EMS and EMS domains were assessed with the YSQ-R short form (Young Schema Questionnaire 3 Short Form) and current relationship dysfunction were assessed with the FAST (Functioning assessment short test subscale). Successive simple linear regression analyses were performed to investigate the association between the severity scores of each EMS and the intensity of relationship dysfunction. Furthermore, successive simple linear regression analyses investigated the association between EMS domain scores and intensity of relationship dysfunction. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to test the association between EMS scores, then EMS domains, and the intensity of relationship dysfunction after adjusting for age as well as the intensity of residual depressive and manic symptoms. RESULTS Relationship dysfunction is partly associated with EMS activation in particular in the separation and rejection domain (P<0.0001), the other-directedness domain (P=0.031) and the over-vigilance and inhibition domain (P=0.005). Having residual depressive symptoms is also among the factors contributing to the relationship dysfunctions of people with bipolar disorder in the euthymic phase. DISCUSSION This is the first study demonstrating that the activation of several domains of EMS is a risk factor of relationships difficulties for people in euthymic phase of bipolar disorder. It is necessary to identify which EMS are specifically activated and their domains of belonging in order to prevent and reduce them. EMS are a lever for functional remission. It is therefore relevant to refer people reporting relationship problems to schema therapy consistent with a personalized care. Finally, future studies should focus on the mechanisms underlying the complex relationship between EMS domains and relationship dysfunction in people with bipolar disorder in the euthymic phase. It may also be relevant for future research to control for different types of relationship dysfunction. EMS may be differentially associated with several types of interpersonal problems. The relations between different adaptation styles and EMS should be further investigated to offer more personalized care, with the aim to improve functional remission.

Inter-Rater Reliability between Structured and Non-Structured Interviews Is Fair in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorders-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Diagnostics (Basel) 2023; 13:diagnostics13030526. [PMID: 36766632 PMCID: PMC9914275 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics13030526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/28/2023] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
We aimed to find agreement between diagnoses obtained through standardized (SDI) and non-standardized diagnostic interviews (NSDI) for schizophrenia and Bipolar Affective Disorder (BD). METHODS A systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted. Publications from 2007 to 2020 comparing SDI and NSDI diagnoses in adults without neurological disorders were screened in MEDLINE, ISI Web of Science, and SCOPUS, following PROSPERO registration CRD42020187157, PRISMA guidelines, and quality assessment using QUADAS-2. RESULTS From 54231 entries, 22 studies were analyzed, and 13 were included in the final meta-analysis of kappa agreement using a mixed-effects meta-regression model. A mean kappa of 0.41 (Fair agreement, 95% CI: 0.34 to 0.47) but high heterogeneity (Î2 = 92%) were calculated. Gender, mean age, NSDI setting (Inpatient vs. Outpatient; University vs. Non-university), and SDI informant (Self vs. Professional) were tested as predictors in meta-regression. Only SDI informant was relevant for the explanatory model, leaving 79% unexplained heterogeneity. Egger's test did not indicate significant bias, and QUADAS-2 resulted in "average" data quality. CONCLUSIONS Most studies using SDIs do not report the original sample size, only the SDI-diagnosed patients. Kappa comparison resulted in high heterogeneity, which may reflect the influence of non-systematic bias in diagnostic processes. Although results were highly heterogeneous, we measured a fair agreement kappa between SDI and NSDI, implying clinicians might operate in scenarios not equivalent to psychiatry trials, where samples are filtered, and there may be more emphasis on maintaining reliability. The present study received no funding.

Abstract
Accumulated evidence has demonstrated abnormal amygdala activation in bipolar disorder (BD). The olfactory bulb (OB) has vigorous connections with the amygdala. Although odor-related functions of the OB decreased during the evolutionary process, we hypothesized that an evolved OB with increased activation in emotion regulation may be one of the main factors affecting amygdala functions in BD. Our aim was to investigate metabolism in the OB and amygdala in patients with BD. Twenty-six patients diagnosed with BD according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria were included in this cross-sectional study. Metabolism in the OB and amygdala was assessed using fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT in patients with BD. The OB and amygdala metabolism was compared with the patients' Z scores. Both OB and amygdala metabolic activities were significantly higher than in the controls. A positive correlation was detected between right/left amygdala metabolism and right OB metabolism (p < 0.05, r:467 and r:662, respectively). This study increased our understanding of the etiopathogenesis of BD. In BD, the main cause of hypermetabolism in the amygdala may be increased metabolism in the OB. During evolution, the OB may have assumed a dominant role in emotional processing rather than olfactory functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychiatric comorbidity in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) has been associated with an earlier onset, rapid cycling, worsening severity and outcome, and increased suicidality. Patients with BD have been reported to have poor quality of life (QOL) even during remission. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Estimate the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidity and assess the QOL in patients with BD, and find the associated sociodemographic and clinical variables. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was done in a general hospital psychiatric unit on 100 patients (both inpatients and outpatients) with DSM-IV-TR BD in partial or complete remission. Patients were assessed using a semi-structured pro forma, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview 6.0 - Hindi version, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression or Young Mania Rating Scale and World Health Organization QOL instrument, short-form (WHOQOL-BREF), Hindi Version. RESULTS Sixty-one percent of the sample had at least one psychiatric comorbidity, and the commonest comorbid disorders were substance use disorders (SUD) (30%) and anxiety disorders (AD) (28%). Male gender was identified as a predictor for comorbidity in BD. The mean QOL-BREF score was 85.96 ± 14.35. Poor QOL was associated with older age at onset of comorbidity, multiple comorbidities, mixed episodes, rapid cycling, partial remission, and increased severity of depression while patients with current hypomanic symptoms were found to have better QOL. BD with comorbidity had worse QOL than those without comorbidity. CONCLUSION The majority of patients with BD had at least one comorbidity. SUD were the most common comorbid disorders. QOL, already poor in BD patients, was poorer in cases with comorbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between age at onset and social support in outpatients with bipolar disorder who were in the recovery phase. We also investigated the association between age at onset and disability. METHODS A total of 180 bipolar disorder I outpatients, of whom 50 had early onset with age at onset ≤18 years old, 108 had middle onset with age at onset between 19 and 39 years old, and 22 had late onset with age at onset ≥40 years old, were assessed with the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Scale and Sheehan Disability Scale. RESULTS The early onset group had lower tangible social support, longer length of illness, more childless participants, lower income and more suicide attempters than the late onset group. CONCLUSIONS Early onset seems to have inferior outcomes in tangible social support than late onset, but this trend should be considered as a starting point for future studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This multicentric study from India aimed to evaluate the long term course and outcome of bipolar disorder (BD). METHOD Seven hundred and seventy-three participants diagnosed with BD, attending 14 outpatient clinic centers across the country, were evaluated using the National Institute of Mental Health- Retrospective Life Charts to assess the long term course of BD. RESULTS The mean age of onset of the first episode of illness of the study sample was 26.3 (8.54) years, and mean duration of illness at the time of assessment was 233.05 (94.55) months. In terms of the total number of lifetime episodes, the mean number of manic episodes (mean: 3.68; SD: 4.75) exceeded the mean number of depressive episodes (mean: 3.36; SD: 5.51). The mean numbers of total lifetime episodes were 8.58 (10.6%). When the number of episodes per year was computed, the mean number of manic episodes per year exceeded that of the mean number of depressive episodes. Compared to females, a higher proportion of males had a history of comorbid substance dependence. LIMITATIONS The course was assessed retrospectively and the study was limited to participants attending the outpatient clinics. CONCLUSIONS The course of BD in India differs from that described from developed countries in the form of a number of manic episodes exceeding the depressive episodes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of modifiable (mood, cognitive reserve, cognitive performance) and non-modifiable factors (diagnosis, suicide attempts, substance use, age) on self-reported functioning in BD. METHODS 103 adults with no mood disorders and 95 individuals with BD completed the WHODAS 2.0, in addition to a neuropsychological battery and diagnostic assessments. Path analysis was then used to analyse the relationships between modifiable and non-modifiable predictors of functioning in the sample. RESULTS Cognitive reserve and age had an indirect influence on individual functioning, mediated by cognitive performance. The influence of diagnosis and depressive symptoms on functioning was partly direct, and partly mediated by cognition. The presence of psychiatric comorbidities in addition to BD also had a significant influence on individual functioning. CONCLUSIONS Initiatives focussed on modifiable factors such as depressive symptoms and cognitively stimulating activities, which increase cognitive reserve, may be a useful complement to existing treatments and help patients achieve functional recovery. KEY POINTS Individual functioning was influenced by cognitive performance, cognitive reserve, age, diagnosis and depressive symptoms. Executive functioning mediated the influence of age and cognitive reserve on individual functioning. Interventions focussed on depressive symptoms and cognitive stimulation may help patients achieve functional recovery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of medical comorbidities in acute manic patients over a period of 1 year, and to evaluate correlates of the readmission rate. DESIGN/METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted on 158 acute manic patients from 2016 to 2017. RESULTS The most common physical comorbidity was obesity (36.1%) followed by cardiovascular disorders (15.2%) and liver dysfunctions (9.3%). Male gender was associated with higher readmission rate (Beta = -0.260), while taking anticholinergic drugs (Beta = -0.338) and having a family history of psychiatric disorders (Beta = -0.222) were associated with lower readmission rate. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The study results may help physicians and other clinicians understand the burden of illness recurrence in bipolar disorder type I patients and adopt effective strategies to prevent relapse, taking into account all comorbidities.

Bipolar Disord 2020; 22:569-581.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Systematically review the prevalence of functional impairment (FI) in euthymic patients with bipolar disorder (BD), as assessed only with the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST), explore the prevalence of this impairment among all the domains, identify the most compromised of them and the clinical variables associated with low functioning in this population. METHODS Meta-analyses were performed, searching for relevant papers published from 2007 to 2019 in Medline, Embase, Cochrane, PsycINFO databases and via hand-searching, without language restrictions. 1128 studies were initially identified, 13 of which were ultimately chosen based on the eligibility criteria. A two-step meta-analysis was performed using the mean difference with a 95% confidence interval for continuous variables and proportion estimation with a fixed-effects model for categorical variables. RESULTS In the first step, all FAST domains showed worse FI in patients than in healthy controls, with significant differences between groups. In the second step, the prevalence of FI domains were as follows: global, 58.6%; occupational, 65.6%; cognitive, 49.2%; autonomy, 42.6%; interpersonal relationships, 42.1%; leisure, 29.2%; and financial issues, 28.8%. Residual depressive symptoms were the most frequently cited variable associated with FI. CONCLUSIONS This study reinforces the relevant functional impact of BD in this population and suggests that the occupational domain may be the most impaired. Greater efforts should be directed toward targeting functioning in patient care, as it constitutes the most meaningful endpoint of response to treatment, especially with occupational and cognitive rehabilitation, thus allowing patients to overcome the course of illness and carry fulfilling lives.

A clinical staging model for bipolar disorder: longitudinal approach. Transl Psychiatry 2020; 10:45. [PMID: 32066710 PMCID: PMC7026435 DOI: 10.1038/s41398-020-0718-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2019] [Revised: 12/18/2019] [Accepted: 01/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Bipolar disorder (BD) has been identified as a life-course illness with different clinical manifestations from an at-risk to a late stage, supporting the assumption that it would benefit from a staging model. In a previous study, we used a clustering approach to stratify 224 patients with a diagnosis of BD into five clusters based on clinical characteristics, functioning, cognition, general health, and health-related quality of life. This study was design to test the construct validity of our previously developed k-means clustering model and to confirm its longitudinal validity over a span of 3 years. Of the 224 patients included at baseline who were used to develop our model, 129 (57.6%) reached the 3-year follow-up. All life domains except mental health-related quality of life (QoL) showed significant worsening in stages (p < 0.001), suggesting construct validity. Furthermore, as patients progressed through stages, functional decline (p < 0.001) and more complex treatment patterns (p = 0.002) were observed. As expected, at 3 years, the majority of patients remained at the same stage (49.6%), or progressed (20.9%) or regressed (23.3%) one stage. Furthermore, 85% of patients who stayed euthymic during that period remained at the same stage or regressed to previous stages, supporting its longitudinal validity. For that reason, this study provides evidence of the construct and longitudinal validity of an empirically developed, comprehensive staging model for patients with BD. Thus, it may help clinicians and researchers to better understand the disorder and, at the same time, to design more accurate and personalized treatment plans.

Abstract
The current study aims to explore the functional changes of the amygdala in patients with euthymic Bipolar Disorder (BD) using resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI). Twenty-one euthymic patients with bipolar disorder and 28 healthy controls participated in this study. Two of the euthymic patients with BD and three of the healthy controls were excluded due to excessive head motion. We found that patients with euthymia (38.79 ± 12.03) show higher fALFF (fractional Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation) value of the amygdala (t = 2.076, P = 0.044), and lower functional connectivity between the amygdala and supplementary motor area (p < 0.01, GRF corrected) than healthy controls (33.40 ± 8.21). However, euthymic patients did not show a differential activity in ReHo (Regional Homogeneity) and gray matter of the amygdala region as compared to healthy controls. Thus, despite the absence of clinical symptoms in euthymic patients with BD, the amygdala functional activity and its connectivity to other brain regions remain altered. Further investigation of negative emotions and social functioning in euthymic patients with BD are needed and can help pave the way for a better understanding of BD psychopathology.
