The assessment and treatment of the rapid-cycling variant of bipolar disorder in individuals with developmental disabilities is challenging. Outcomes are optimized by a long-term commitment to the establishment of objective monitoring systems by interdisciplinary teams. In this retrospective case series, we contrast the phenomenology, clinical outcomes, treatment responses, and clinical characteristics of 26 individuals with bipolar disorder and developmental disabilities, 12 with nonrapid cycling courses and 14 with rapid cycling courses. Similarities and differences are highlighted both within these two groups and in reference to published findings for individuals without disabilities.

Assessing the risk of relapse in patients with BD can assist in identifying populations at high risk for recurrence, and early feasible interventions can improve patient' prognoses. Therefore, it is important to establish and validate predictive models for relapse risk in patients with BD.

The detection of rare or deviant stimuli shares common brain circuits involved in temporal processing and salience, critical for cognitive control. Disruption in these processes may contribute to the mechanisms of the disease and explain cognitive deficits observed in psychosis and related disorders. We designed a neuroimaging study, using oddball task-based functional sequences (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), comparing healthy controls (HC, n = 14, 7 females) and patients with stable psychosis (PSY, n = 20, 10 females).
