Abstract:
Emotion regulation is an important ability for individuals which can help them adapt to society better.The characteristics of patients with bipolar disorder are characterized by extremely unstable mood,associated with impaired emotion processing and mood dysregulation.This article reviews emotion regulation strategies of patients with bipolar disorder and their neural mechanisms.During the emotion regulation process,patients often use maladaptive regulation strategies.Their activation of the prefrontal cortex is abnormal,and the functional connectivity between prefrontal cortical regions and the amygdala is attenuated.This could also be the physiological basis of patients'difficulty in regulating emotions.
