Objective: We sought to study the association between endometriosis and bipolar disorder.
Methods: Using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders, the prevalence of bipolar disorder was compared in 27 patients with endometriosis and 12 women with pelvic pain not related to endometriosis who were seen at a specialty gynaecology clinic for women with chronic pelvic pain.
Results: A significantly greater proportion of women in the endometriosis group were found to have bipolar disorder and a poorer quality of life than women with pelvic pain not related to endometriosis.
Conclusion: There may be an association between endometriosis and bipolar disorder. An optimal approach to managing endometriosis should include evaluation and treatment of psychiatric comorbidity, particularly bipolar disorder.

Mental health is vital to human well-being, and prevention strategies to address mental illness have a significant impact on the burden of disease and quality of life. With the recent developments in body-worn sensors, it is now possible to continuously collect data that can be used to gain insights into mental health states. This has the potential to optimize psychiatric assessment, thereby improving patient experiences and quality of life.

Background: Investigations of causal pathways for psychosis can be guided by the identification of environmental risk factors. A recently developed composite risk tool, the exposome score for schizophrenia (ES-SCZ), which controls for intercorrelations between risk factors, has shown fair to good performance. We tested the transdiagnostic psychosis classifier performance of the ES-SCZ with the Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network for Intermedial Phenotypes data and examined its relationship with clinical-level outcomes.

Background: There is a strong link between trauma exposure and serious mental health conditions (SMHCs), such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The majority of research in the field has focused on childhood trauma as a risk factor for developing an SMHC and on samples from high-income countries. There is less research on having an SMHC as a risk factor for exposure to traumatic events, and particularly on populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
