Healio (9/19, Cooper) reports, “Factors previously associated with short-term risk for new-onset bipolar disorder also were associated with significantly higher risk after more than 10 years of follow-up,” investigators concluded after tracking the “long-term association between bipolar at-risk…criteria – which includes subthreshold mania, cyclothymic features, subthreshold depression and family history of bipolar disorder (BD) – and the development of BD” in a study that included 60 participants. The findings were published online Sept. 15 in JAMA Network Open.
