Enhancing multiyear guideline concordance for bipolar disorder through collaborative care.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: Implementation of evidence-based care for serious mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder has been suboptimal. Improving and sustaining concordance with clinical practice guidelines has been a cornerstone of efforts to enhance ... Read more...

An initial report of a new biological marker for bipolar disorder: P85 evoked brain potential.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Progress toward understanding the neurobiological and genetic underpinnings of bipolar disorder has been limited by the scarcity of potential biological markers that predict its occurrence. A measure of the integrity of brain inhibitory ... Read more...

The International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD) consensus guidelines for the safety monitoring of bipolar disorder treatments.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Safety monitoring is an important aspect of bipolar disorder treatment, as mood-stabilising medications have potentially serious side effects, some of which may also aggravate existing medical comorbidities. This paper sets out the ... Read more...
