Abstract:
Bipolar disorder often presents as depression, difficulty in identifying hypomania, and common comorbidities of physical and mental illnesses, increasing the risk of delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Delayed diagnosis and misdiagnosis make it difficult for patients to receive timely and correct treatment, resulting in poor efficacy and increased disease burden. Therefore, early recognition is crucial for moving the prevention and treatment checkpoint forward and improving disease prognosis. At present, research has achieved certain results, but the reliability and clinical application of the results are insufficient. In the future, breakthroughs in this area will require in-depth interdisciplinary collaboration and organized large-scale prospective cohorts targeting specific populations.
