Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of comorbid personality disorders in patients with newly diagnosed BD and their unaffected first-degree relatives compared with healthy control individuals. The results showed that 25.5% of patients with newly diagnosed BD and 6.4% of their relatives fulfilled the criteria for comorbid personality disorders. Subthreshold personality disorders were also more prevalent in BD patients and their relatives. Comorbid personality disorders were associated with impaired functioning in BD patients.

Summary: Back pain is highly associated with mood and anxiety symptoms and syndromes, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. This study found a familial aggregation of back/neck pain with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), but not with bipolar disorder. Onset of back/neck pain occurred earlier in individuals with bipolar disorder compared to controls.

Summary: Evidence suggests a higher comorbidity rate of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in bipolar disorder (BD) patients, particularly in those experiencing bipolar depression (BP-D). A study found 26% of BD patients with their first depressive episode also had OCD, while 23.2% met criteria for subthreshold OCD. No differences in demographic and clinical variables were observed between BD patients with and without OCD. Further research is needed to explore the longitudinal course, treatment approaches, and outcomes of comorbid BP-D/OCD.

Summary: Objective: To determine the prevalence and predictors of physical health comorbidities in older adults with bipolar disorder. Methods: A systematic review and narrative synthesis of peer-reviewed journal articles were conducted. Results: The literature on physical health comorbidities in older adults with bipolar disorder was inconclusive, but there was some tentative evidence of higher rates of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer. Limitations: The quality of the identified research was generally low and there was a lack of comparison with the general population. Conclusion: Further investigation is needed to confirm the elevated risk of physical health comorbidities in older adults with bipolar disorder, and clinicians should consider interventions to improve their physical health.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between eating disorders (EDs) and bipolar disorder (BD) types. The results showed that BD2 patients had a higher prevalence of EDs compared to BD1 patients. Factors such as age, gender, body mass index, affective lability, and comorbidity with anxiety disorders were associated with EDs in BD patients. There were no significant differences in EDs between different BD types.

Summary: The comorbidity of bipolar disorder (BD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) is higher in community samples than expected and the reasons for this phenomenon are still unclear. This paper reviews previous explanations, considers new potential causes, and emphasizes the role of transdiagnostic features and genetic influences. Measurement errors in diagnostic assignment may have affected previous studies and led to misleading interpretations.

Summary: Bipolar disorders (BDs) have a high prevalence rate in pediatric and adolescent patients, with genetic and environmental factors playing a role in their pathogenesis. Pediatric and adolescent patients with BD manifest differently from adults, and the use of assessment scales can aid in diagnosis and treatment evaluation. Medication and psychological therapies are safe and effective methods for treating BD.

Summary: This study investigates the prevalence of cumulative trauma in bipolar disorder and explores its association with comorbid mental health conditions and social support. The findings suggest that individuals with lifetime cumulative trauma are more likely to have psychiatric comorbidity and lower levels of social support.

Summary: The study found that impulsive and interpersonal impairment were highly comorbid with mood symptoms, while suicidal ideation, sadness, decreased need for sleep, and guilt were most related to substance-related impairment. The components of these syndromes that confer cross-construct risk might not be the same as predicted by the other construct.

Summary: Patients with affective disorder have higher absolute and relative risks of most somatic diseases, except for cancers. The strongest associations were found for dementia, hip fracture, COPD, and stroke on both the relative and absolute scale. Further research on shared mechanisms could lead to targeted interventions to reduce the risk.

Summary: The study found a high prevalence of adult ADHD and substance use disorder comorbidity among bipolar disorder patients, with a significant association between adult ADHD and earlier onset of mood episodes in bipolar disorder. Further multicenter studies with larger sample sizes are needed to increase awareness of this comorbidity in hospital settings.

Summary: This study found that affective temperaments have a modulation effect on pain sensitivity, with hyperthymic temperament suggesting pain resilience and cyclothymic temperaments suggesting pain susceptibility. Trait anxiety was found to have a stronger effect on this association.

Summary: The traditional approaches to measuring depression after traumatic brain injury (TBI) have limitations. This study adopted a symptom-oriented approach and found that post-TBI depression is highly heterogeneous. Different depressive symptoms have distinct associations with personal, injury-related, treatment, and outcome factors.

Summary: Despite rapid social changes in Hong Kong, marriage remains a strong protective factor against suicide for both men and women, particularly among younger individuals. Increasing suicide rates among divorced/separated, never-married, or widowed individuals suggest a need for more psychosocial support.

Summary: This study found that the experience of losing at least one night of sleep was associated with an increased risk of postpartum psychosis in women with bipolar disorder. Sleep quality in late pregnancy was not associated with postpartum psychosis, and perinatal sleep disruption was not associated with postpartum depression.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the association between psychological pain and suicidality in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The results showed that psychological pain was a risk factor for suicidality in MDD patients, especially for those of advancing age. Reducing psychological pain in MDD patients is important for preventing suicidality.

Summary: This study examined the relationship among family accommodation (FA), posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), and functional impairment. The results showed that FA was significantly associated with PTSS and functional impairment. Baseline FA partially mediated the relationship between baseline PTSS and functional impairment. Changes in FA from pre- to post-treatment were associated with relevant outcome variables at post-treatment and 12-month follow-up.
