The frequency of mania has not changed during the last century even with the development of new diagnostic criteria sets. More specifically, from the mid-1970s to 2000, the rate of mania (variably labeled major affective disorder-bipolar disorder and bipolar I disorder) was consistently identified in US and international studies as ranging from 0.4% to 1.6%. By the late 1990s to the 2000s, the prevalence reported by some researchers for bipolar disorders (I and II and others) was in the 5% to 7% and higher ranges. The purpose of this paper was to review explanations for this change and the potentially negative impacts on the field.

Primum Non Nocere: The Onus to Characterize the Potential Harms of Psychedelic Treatment.
Am J Psychiatry
January 2025

The last few years have seen exponential growth in interest, investment, advocacy, and research into psychedelics as therapeutics. This reflects an optimism about the potential promise of psychedelics as therapeutics. As with all therapeutic interventions, research is needed not only into their benefits but also potential risks.

Postpartum psychosis is a severe psychiatric condition marked by the abrupt onset of psychosis, mania, or psychotic depression following childbirth. Despite evidence for a strong genetic basis, the roles of common and rare genetic variation remain poorly understood. Leveraging data from Swedish national registers and genomic data from the All of Us Research Program, we estimated family-based heritability at 55% and WGS-based heritability at 37%, with an overrepresentation on the X chromosome.

Department of Infectious Diseases and Child Neurology, Institute of Paediatrics, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland.
Background: Group A Streptococci (GAS) may cause infections of the pharynx and soft tissues and invasive infections in children (iGAS). A significant increase in severe iGAS infections has been reported in Europe since the fall of 2022.
Objectives: This retrospective study aims to analyse clinical data of children with invasive and non-invasive GAS infections in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, searching for predisposing factors to developing invasive infections.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the structure of anxious and mood-related symptoms in psychiatric outpatients, aiming to classify and understand their interactions.
- Researchers employed factor analysis and network graphs to analyze the symptoms of 305 patients, identifying 15 overlapping syndromes, with general anxiety identified as central.
- The findings highlight the complexity and correlation of psychiatric syndromes, advocating for a dimensional approach to better comprehend mental disorders.

Background: Bipolar disorder is a complex polygenic disorder that is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania, the heterogeneity of which is likely complicated by epigenetic modifications that remain to be elucidated.
Methods: We performed transcriptomic analysis of peripheral blood RNA from monozygotic (MZ) twins discordant for bipolar disorder to identify disease-associated differentially expressed long noncoding RNAs (DE-lncRNAs), which were further validated in the PsychENCODE brain RNA-seq dataset. We then performed behavioral tests, electrophysiological assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and PCR to investigate the function of DE-lncRNAs in the mouse and cell models.
