Bipolar Disorders in Women
Depression: Mind and Body. 2007; (1): 2-11
Gender differences exist in bipolar disorder; notably, women experience a higher rate of depressive episodes than men. This article reviews the epidemiology and comorbidity of gender differences in bipolar disorder, and details the influence of the reproductive phases (e.g pregnancy and post partum) on the clinical course. Finally, clinically important issues in treating mood episodes during the different reproductive phases are discussed.
