Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic and severe psychiatric illness. It is reported as responsible for the loss of more disability-adjusted life-years than all forms of cancer and major neurological conditions. Despite the serious burden on patients and the health system, many aspects of its pathobiology remain unclear. In recent years, research has provided impressive progresses in many areas of BD.
The aim of this Special Issue is to invite researchers to contribute in broadening the current knowledge in genetics, proteomics, neuroimaging, biochemical physiopathology, neuropathology, biopsychosocial interactions, precise psychiatry, and innovative treatments in the field of BD. Particular attention is devoted to high-risk subjects and mixed states.
