Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Using positron emission tomography, cerebral glucose metabolism in drug-free, age- and sex-matched, right-handed patients with unipolar depression, bipolar depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) with secondary depression, OCD without major depression, and normal controls is studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cerebral metabolic rates for glucose in mood disorders. Studies with positron emission tomography and fluorodeoxyglucose F 18.
Lewis R. Baxter,Michael E. Phelps,John C. Mazziotta,Jeffrey M. Schwartz,Robert H. Gerner,Carl Selin,Ron M. Sumida +6 more
TL;DR: The whole brain metabolic rates for patients with bipolar depression increased going from depression or a mixed state to a euthymic or manic state, and patients with unipolar depression showed a significantly lower ratio of the metabolic rate of the caudate nucleus, divided by that of the hemisphere as a whole.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic review evaluating health-related quality of life, work impairment, and healthcare costs and utilization in bipolar disorder
TL;DR: Bipolar disorder imposes a tremendous burden on patients and the healthcare system, resulting in decreased HRQoL and increased medical and work impairment costs, and limited data suggest that appropriate management can improve HRQeL and functioning while reducing utilization and cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine Abnormalities in Bulimia
TL;DR: Findings suggest that neuroendocrine abnormalities identified previously in anorexia nervosa are not solely an artifact of low weight and, further, that eating disorders and affective disorders may share neurochemical similarities.
Journal ArticleDOI
CSF neurochemistry in depressed, manic, and schizophrenic patients compared with that of normal controls.
Robert H. Gerner,Lynn A. Fairbanks,George M. Anderson,Young Jg,M Scheinin,Markku Linnoila,T A Hare,Bennett A. Shaywitz,Donald J. Cohen +8 more
TL;DR: Results showed that depressed patients, particularly those over 40 years of age, had lower levels of GABA than did controls, and that their level of HVA increased with age, while controls' decreased.
