Bipolar disorders today: beyond DSM-5
Abstract
Bipolar disorders constitute a complex group of recurrent mental illnesses with high prevalence among general population. The current systems of classification, such as CIE-10 and DSM-5, represent a significant advance for their accurate identification. However, there is still a relevant delay on their diagnoses. The present paper describes the more distinctive clinical features of these illnesses, discuss the general concepts regarding of bipolar spectrum, mixed states, clinical differences between unipolar and bipolar depression, and the differential clinical criteria with other disorders.
