Q

When does BD typically begin?

Carvalho et al. (2020)

A

Around 20 years old.

Early onset= associated with poorer prognosis, longer treatment delays, severe depressive episodes and higher prevalence of anxiety and substance use disorders.

Q

(First) pattern of BD

Carvalho et al. (2020)

A

1e episode= depressive

Depressive episodes often last longer than (hypo)manic episodes.

Pattern is often misclassified as MDD.

1/3 of BD patients, the disorder remains undiagnosed until 10 years after onset.

Q

Symptoms BD I

Carvalho et al. (2020)

A

Observable manic episodes with various manifestations, like:
- Heightened confidence
- Grandiosity
- Increased talkativeness
- Extreme disinhibition
- Irritability
- Reduced need for sleep

75% of manic episodes involve psychotic symptoms such as delusions and hallucinations

Q

Comorbidity

A
  • ADHD and anxiety –> increase burden and worsen prognosis

Q

Kindler hypothesis

Carvalho et al. (2020)

A

Model explaining how gradual stress sensitization leads to recurring affective episodes.
- 1e episode occurs after exposure to stressor
- Subsequent episode can occur whithout stressor.

Mechanisms behind hypothesis are strengthened if patient:
1. Does not receive care
2. Uses psychoactive substances
3. Lifestyle risks (smoking or sedentary behaviour)

Q

Treatment acute mania

Carvalho et al. (2020)

A
  • If there is no response to med’s after 1 or 2 weeks, different medication may be considered.
  • Antipsychotic agent and mood stabilizer, especially for severe mania
  • Antipsychotic risperidone more effective than lithium, etc.

Treatment used for mania is often used for hypomanic episodes

Q

What happens with treatment during acute depression?

Carvalho et al. (2020)

Q

What is risk of antidepressants in BD?

Carvalho et al. (2020)

A

Risk of switching to mania or hypomania= affective switches

Risk of switches= higher among BD I than II

So: antidepr generally avoided, if necesarry in combi with mood stabilizers

In adolescents/adults

A

Adolescents= 1.7-16%
Adults= 1-5%

1/3 persists in adulthood
2/3 still have symptoms in adulthood

27
Q

What are highest comorbidity rates with BD in youth

A
  • Anxiety disorders (54%)
  • ADHD (48%
28
Q

Similarities BD and ADHD

Marangoni et al. (2015)

3

A
  1. Neurodevelopmental disorders with onset in childhood and early adolescence
  2. Common persistence in adulthood
  3. Often underdiagnosed, misdiagnosed or overdiagnosed
29
Q

Differential diagnosis ADHD and BD

Characteristics ADHD

Marangoni et al. (2015)

5

A
  • Wobbling
  • Restlessness
  • Inefficient and disorganized performance due to inattention
  • Distractibility
  • Forgetfulness
30
Q

Differential diagnosis of ADHD and BD

Characteristics BD

Marangoni et al. (2015)

3

A
  1. Prominent mood
  2. Sleep
  3. Agressive behaviour (especially if impulsive behaviour comes from money, sex and substances)
31
Q

Which are complex comorbidities that makes diagnosis complicated

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A

50% of pat’s with ADHD or BD has:
- conduct disorder(CD)
- Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)

Symptoms of CD and/or ODD like rage and aggressive behaviour overlap with symptoms of manic or mixed episodes.

32
Q

Differences between ADHD and manic or mixed episodes

Comparison by eliminating overlapping symptoms

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A

BD:
- Elated mood
- Grandiosity
- Hypersexuality
- Decreased need for sleep
- Racing thoughts

Both:
- Hyper-energetic
- Distractibility

33
Q

Differences between ADHD and manic or mixed episodes

Comparison by chronological symptom appearance

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A

Different symptoms at different ages:
- Age 1 to 6 in BD: tantrums, poor frustration tolerance, impulsivity, increased aggression, lower attention span, hyperactivity irritability
- Age 7 to 12 in BD: adult depressive symptoms, mania and psychosis
- More common in BD: nightmares, bed-wetting, inappropriate sexual behaviours, suicidal ideation and physical complaints.

34
Q

Differences between ADHD and manic or mixed episodes

Child behaviour checklist (CBDI)

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A

When a child experiences BD with an increased anxiety/depression, aggressive pattern and attention problem, this distinguishes BD from ADHD

35
Q

Family history BD and ADHD

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A

BD:
- Family history= 90%
- Heritability 58-85%

ADHD:
- Heritability= 60-80%

Family member with ADHD –> also predicts BD with 27-30%
Family member with BD –> predicts ADHD 6%

36
Q

Course ADHD

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A

Symptoms hyperactivity improve, inattentive not.

Chronic and unremitting disorder –> persistent in adulthood in half of cases.

37
Q

Medication BD

Marangoni et al. (2015)

A
  1. mood stabilizers and antipsychotics –> do not work for ADHD
  2. Stimulants cannot be used for BD –> this causes disturbances in sleep and circadian rhythms.
