Background: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) suffer from psychological difficulties like bipolar disorder. Various studies in the literature report several prevalence rates of bipolar disorder in women with PCO, while there is no systematic review in this field. So, we designed this systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled prevalence and odds of bipolar disorder in women with PCO disease.

Method: PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and references of the references, conference abstracts were comprehensively searched by two independent researchers. The search was done on May 1st, 2023.

Results: A literature search revealed 438 records, 35 full texts were evaluated, and finally, 11 studies remained for systematic review. Totally, 73,102 women with PCO and 340,724 controls were evaluated. Among cases, 1471 had bipolar diagnosis vs. 4321 controls. The prevalence of bipolar disorder in women with PCO ranged between 0 and 27%, and the pooled prevalence was estimated as 4% (95% CI, 2-5%; I, 99.3%, p < 0.001). The odds of bipolar disorder in women with PCO ranged between 0.98 and 8.78, and the pooled estimate was 2.06 (95% CI, 1.61-2.63) (I, 85.6%; p < 0.001).

Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis show that the pooled prevalence of bipolar disorder in women with PCO is 4%, and women with PCO are at a 2-fold higher risk of bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a complex psychiatric condition marked by significant mood fluctuations that deeply affect quality of life. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying BD is critical for improving diagnostic accuracy and developing more effective treatments. This study utilized resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to investigate functional connectivity within the ventral and dorsal attention networks in 52 patients with BD and 51 healthy controls.

Introduction Psychoeducation is a form of psychosocial treatment with proven efficacy in preventing the relapse of bipolar disorder (BD). However, the effectiveness of psychoeducation has not been verified in Japan. We aimed to examine the effect of a brief group psychoeducation course (eight-session long) on relapse prevention in Japanese patients with BD and associated factors.

Background: Atypical antipsychotics are a common treatment for serious mental illness, but many are associated with adverse effects, including weight gain and cardiovascular issues, and real-world experience may differ from clinical trial data. Cariprazine has previously demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile in clinical trials. Here, we evaluated the effects of cariprazine on body weight and blood pressure for bipolar I disorder (BP-I), schizophrenia, or as adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD) using real-world data.

This special section underscores the importance of psychologists in improving and enhancing care for individuals with serious mental illnesses (SMIs). People with diagnoses typically included in the category of SMIs-schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, and other diagnoses with symptoms severely impacting functioning-typically have layered marginalities and experience significant social stigma in addition to mental health symptoms. The complexity of challenges commonly experienced by individuals with SMI requires that treatment providers have specialized knowledge, training, and skills to provide specialty care needed to support mental health recovery.
