Medication adherence in bipolar disorder: Exploring the role of predominant polarity

The International Journal of Psychiatry in Medicine, 2021
Objectives Medication non-adherence is one important reason behind sub-optimal outcome from treatment of bipolar affective disorder (BPAD). Though various reasons behind medication non-adherence have been identified, little is known about the medication adherence patterns across various predominant polarities ...

Predominant Polarity of Bipolar Patients in Israel

The World Journal of Biological Psychiatry, 2000
Studies in European and American populations have suggested that the course of bipolar illness is most often characterised by a predominance of depressions over manias. The current chart review study suggests that among manic-depressive patients in Southern Israel, a predominately manic course of illness is more common. Unlike some previous studies, no

Predominant polarity in bipolar disorder: Diagnostic implications

Journal of Affective Disorders, 2008
It has been reported that patients with bipolar disorder (BD) remain about 10 years symptomatic before the correct diagnosis is made. This fact is particularly important for patients with predominantly depressed polarity who tend to be diagnosed as suffering from unipolar major depressive disorder and treated with antidepressants. The present study was

Clinical implications of predominant polarity and the polarity index in bipolar disorder: a naturalistic study

Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 2013
ObjectivePredominant polarity (PP) is an important variable in maintenance treatment of bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed at determining the role of polarity index (PI), a metric indicating antimanic versus antidepressive prophylactic potential of drugs, in clinical decision‐making.MethodTwo hundred and fifty‐seven of 604 (43%) of patients with ...

On the Predominant Electron-Donicity of Polar Solid Surfaces

The Journal of Adhesion, 1997
Abstract The reasons for the predominant electron-donicity of almost all solid polar surfaces and its implications are discussed in this paper. By contact angle or interfacial tension measurements, the electron-accepting as well as the electron-donating properties of polar liquids can be ascertained, through the interplay between their energies of ...

Undetermined predominant polarity in a cohort of bipolar disorder patients: Prevalent, severe, and overlooked

Journal of Affective Disorders, 2022
Predominant polarity (PP) is a concept used to define patients with bipolar disorder (BD) as presenting a tendency to manifest depressive (DPP) or manic (MPP) episodes. Still, the high percentage of patients with an undetermined PP (UPP), has been overlooked in most studies.

Structural neuroimaging and predominant polarity in patients with type 1 bipolar disorder from Antioquia

Revista Colombiana de Psiquiatría (English ed.), 2022
Predominant polarity (PP) has been proposed as a specifier of bipolar disorder (BD) due to its relationship with clinical and prognostic variables. It is possible that this is due to a different underlying neurobiology, in such a way that the changes found by structural nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) in BD are different and specific.To ...

[Predominant polarity, mixed states and suicide].

L'Encephale, 2013
Bipolar disorders are linked to a high suicidal risk. Many risk factors are identified but it seems relevant to highlight the relationship between suicidal behavior and the different subtypes of bipolar disorder, or the different kinds of outcomes, or the clinical characteristics of a recurrence.

Clinical Utility of the Predominant Polarity in Bipolar Disorder Patients

Bipolar Disorder: Open Access, 2018
Introduction: Current classification of bipolar disorder (BD) in type I or type II may be of little use in routine clinical practice to provide information on relevance epidemiological and clinical variables. New complementary coders like the predominant polarity (PP), which is defined as a clear tendency in the patient to present relapses in the manic

Epidemiological and clinical variables related with the predominant polarity on bipolar disorder: A systematic review

Revista de Psiquiatría y Salud Mental (English Edition), 2019
Current classification of bipolar disorder (BD) in type i or type ii, however useful, may be insufficient to provide relevant clinical information in some patients. As a result, complementary classifications are being proposed, like the predominant polarity (PP) based, which is defined as a clear tendency in the patient to present relapses in the manic
