[Treatment of bipolar disorders].
Bipolar disorder is a hereditary, chronic, recurrent, and underdiagnosed disease. It involves mood dysregulation, associated with multiple comorbidities and residual symptoms between episodes. Prognosis worsens with delay of diagnosis and treatment. Neurological studies are essential to the understanding of this disorder. Cerebral lesions and progressive cognitive disorders have been shown. A well-conducted treatment strategy is fundamental.
