Brief Summary:
Bipolar disorder is a mood affective disorder characterized by the occurrence of alternating feelings of excitement mania and depression It is a common but serious condition and potentially life-threatening Patients are considered to have a rapid cycling form of bipolar disorder if they experience four or more episodes of hypomania mild degree of mania mania andor depression Approximately 20 of the patients in bipolar clinics have the rapid cycling form of the disorder Therefore it can be said that RCBD is not a rare condition and that it can severely impair a patient These reasons alone justify studying RCBD However researchers also believe that information gathered by studying patients with RCBD can be used while studying other patients with different forms of bipolar disorder
The purpose of this study is to screen patients diagnosed as having rapid cycling bipolar disorder to see if they fit the criteria for the diagnosis and to see if they would be interested in participating in other research studies
Patients will undergo diagnostic interviews physical examination routine blood tests EKG electrocardiogram and complete self-rating forms as part of the screening process
