The diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents: Past, present and future
This review examines the ongoing debate concerning the diagnosis of bipolar disorder in children and adolescents. This contentious issue has generated robust discussion over the past two decades without consensus, and as such the true prevalence of so-called paediatric bipolar disorder (PBD) remains unknown. In this article we offer a solution to break this deadlock.
Depression (The Lancet)
The detection, diagnosis, and management of depression often pose challenges for clinicians because of its various presentations, unpredictable course and prognosis, and variable response to treatment. This article provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of depression.
Bipolar Disorder (The Lancet)
This article provides an overview of diagnostic, pathogenetic, and treatment considerations in bipolar disorders. The article provides a synthesis of the evidence on the epidemiology, mechanisms, screening, and treatment of bipolar disorders.
The Activity, Cognition and Emotion (ACE) Model
The ACE model was developed as a novel approach to the conceptualisation of mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and depression. Rather than conceptualising these disorders along a single dimension of mood, the ACE model considers mood disorders as a combination of symptoms across three domains: Activity, Cognition, and Emotion; that vary over time. This multidimensional and longitudinal perspective is consistent with the prevalence of complex clinical presentations, such as mixed states, and allows for more detailed formulation and management of mood disorders.
