The consensus in the literature is that bipolar disorder is seasonal. We argue that there is finer detail to seasonality and that changes in mood and energy in bipolar disorder are dictated by the rate of change of solar insolation.

Social cognition in bipolar I and II disorders: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis.
BMC Psychiatry
January 2025
School of Nursing, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou, 311121, China.
Objective: In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in reports upon social-cognition impairments in bipolar disorder. This study aimed to compare the characteristics of social cognition domains in bipolar I (BD I) and II (BD II) based on the findings to date.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted on Web of Science and PubMed from inception to 28 August 2024.
Neurophysiological correlates of ketamine-induced dissociative state in bipolar disorder: insights from real-world clinical settings.
Mol Psychiatry
January 2025
Siena Brain Investigation and Neuromodulation Lab, Department of Medicine, Surgery and Neuroscience, University of Siena, Siena, Italy.
Ketamine, a dissociative compound, shows promise in treating mood disorders, including treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and bipolar disorder (BD). Despite its therapeutic potential, the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying ketamine's effects are not fully understood. This study explored acute neurophysiological changes induced by subanesthetic doses of ketamine in BD patients with depression using electroencephalography (EEG) biomarkers.

January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China. Electronic address:
Study Objectives: Lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] is a biomarker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but its role in mental disorders is controversial. Our study aimed to explore the causality between Lp(a) levels and mental disorders by combining retrospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies.
Methods: All genome-wide association study datasets used in the MR study were obtained from UK Biobank, FinnGen, and the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium.
Targeting the gut microbiota-inflammation-brain axis as a potential therapeutic strategy for psychiatric disorders: A Mendelian randomization analysis.

School of Nursing, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. Electronic address:
Background: Extensive research indicates a link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and psychiatric disorders. However, the causal relationships between gut microbiota and different types of psychiatric disorders, as well as whether inflammatory factors mediate these relationships, remain unclear.
Methods: We utilized summary statistics from the largest genome-wide association studies to date for gut microbiota (n = 18,340 in MiBioGen consortium), circulating inflammatory factors (n = 8293 for 41 factors and n = 14,824 for 91 factors in GWAS catalog), and six major psychiatric disorders from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC): attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 38,691), anxiety disorder (ANX, n = 2248), bipolar disorder (BIP, n = 41,917), anorexia nervosa (AN, n = 16,992), schizophrenia (SCZ, n = 36,989), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 18,381).
Investigation of the effects of silymarin and vitamin C on kidney damage and aquaporin-2 downregulation in lithium-induced nephrogenic diabetes insipidus in rats.
Drug Chem Toxicol
January 2025
Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Bingöl University, Bingöl, Turkey.
Although lithium (LIT) therapy is key in managing bipolar disorder long-term, prolonged use significantly contributes to acquired Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI). This study examined whether combining Silymarin (SIL) with Vitamin C (Vit C) enhances protection against lithium-induced nephrotoxicity in rats, comparing their individual antioxidant effects as well. Rats subjected to Li exposure were provided with a standard commercial diet supplemented with 80 mmol LiCl per kilogram for 28 days.
