Mortality of patients with mood disorders: follow-up over 34–38 years
TL;DR: Men and women hospitalised for affective disorders have elevated mortality rates from suicide and circulatory disorders and long term medication treatment lowers the suicide rates, despite the fact that it was the more severely ill who were treated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward a re-definition of subthreshold bipolarity: epidemiology and proposed criteria for bipolar-II, minor bipolar disorders and hypomania.
TL;DR: The diagnostic criteria of hypomania need revision and a broader concept of soft bipolarity is proposed, of which nearly 11% constitutes the spectrum of bipolar disorders proper, and another 13% probably represent the softest expression of bipolarity intermediate between bipolar disorder and normality.
