Background: The offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (BD) and with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have a higher risk of having the same condition. Both disorders also share psychopathological symptoms; however, little is known about their genetic overlap. To examine whether the offspring of parents with BD have a greater chance of being affected by ADHD, we conducted a systematic review.

Methods: From inception to August 12, 2024, we searched the PubMed, SciELO, PsycInfo and Cochrane databases. We included studies if they investigated the association of parental bipolar disorder with offspring outcomes and made a proper investigation of disorders using validated instruments based on the Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) criteria. Studies were excluded if: parents were under 18 years old or over 70; did not report original data; systematic reviews; in vitro studies; with an animal model; offspring older than 17 years of age or with any comorbid diagnosis with ADHD. To assess risk of bias, two authors independently used the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale quality assessment tool.

Results: 23 articles met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the studies reported that the offspring of parents with BD were at higher risk for ADHD. Particularly, in all case‒control studies, the risk of ADHD was higher in the case group than the control group.

Conclusion: The current studies are yet heterogeneous and literature did not uncover the biological correlation of these disorders regarding genetic, biochemical, neuroimaging and neuropsychological aspects.

Untangling the complex relationship between bipolar disorder and anxiety: a comprehensive review of prevalence, prognosis, and therapy.

J Neural Transm (Vienna)

Bipolar disorder (BD) frequently coexists with anxiety disorders, creating complex challenges in clinical therapy and management. This study investigates the prevalence, prognostic implications, and treatment strategies for comorbid BD and anxiety disorders. High comorbidity rates, particularly with generalized anxiety disorder, underscore the necessity of thorough clinical assessments to guide effective management.

Identifying cell types and brain regions critical for psychiatric disorders and brain traits is essential for targeted neurobiological research. By integrating genomic insights from genome-wide association studies with a comprehensive single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the adult human brain, we prioritized specific neuronal clusters significantly enriched for the SNP-heritabilities for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder along with intelligence, education, and neuroticism. Extrapolation of cell-type results to brain regions reveals the whole-brain impact of schizophrenia genetic risk, with subregions in the hippocampus and amygdala exhibiting the most significant enrichment of SNP-heritability.

Schizophrenia (SCHZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) share clinical symptoms and risk genes, but the shared and distinct neural dynamic mechanisms remain inadequately understood. Degree is a fundamental and important graph measure in network neuroscience, and we here extended the degree to hierarchical levels based on eigenmodes and compared the resting-state brain networks of three disorders and healthy controls (HC). First, compared to HC, SCHZ and BD patients exhibited substantially overlapped abnormalities in brain networks, wherein BD patients displayed more significant alterations.

Background: Bipolar disorder (BD) imposes significant social, psychological, and economic burdens on individuals and their caregivers. While developing treatments for BD patients is crucial, supportive interventions for caregivers in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are equally important, given the limited resources and healthcare infrastructure. Understanding caregiver experiences in these settings is essential for creating effective interventions.
