Behaviour and psychopathology

What are antecedents of bipolar disorder? Antecedents, such as behavioural disturbances and psychopathology, are deviations in development that may become evident during childhood or adolescence. The presence of these deviations may foreshadow the later development of bipolar disorder, however most children who exhibit these antecedents do not develop the disorder. Studies exploring antecedents are ideally based on representative, population-based samples that follow the group from birth through childhood and adolescence to adulthood. What is the evidence from long-term studies for behavioural disturbances and psychopathology as antecedents of bipolar disorder? Moderate quality evidence suggests an increased risk of bipolar disorder in…
