Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bipolar disorder is a debilitating mental disorder with complex presentations. Psychiatric and medical comorbidity is the rule rather than the exception. Misdiagnosis and mistreatment of bipolar disorder are common. The aim and scope of this Special Issue is to update on the phenomenology, diagnosis, and treatment of bipolar disorder to provide the most recent advancements in the field and help clinicians and researchers understand cutting-edge findings. To achieve this goal, this Special Issue will publish original research, clinical trials with new treatment(s), systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and cutting-edge technologies related to bipolar diagnosis, treatment, comorbidity, and research.
Prof. Dr. Keming Gao
Guest Editor
