Summary
Bipolar affective disorder is characterised by episodes of (hypo)mania and depression, and well-being states called euthymia [1]. The neurobiology of bipolar affective disorder is highly complex with several biological pathways putatively involved [1]. Despite the large amount of research on the pathophysiology of bipolar affective disorder, diagnosis still depends solely on symptomatology and validated biological markers for diagnostic accuracy and treatment decisions remain to be determined [1]. This section summarises present findings on the biological mechanisms of bipolar affective disorder and highlights future research priorities.
