Most groups of psycho-education are currently based and orientated toward the classical clinical picture of bipolarity, “Bipolar-I Disorder”, which includes intense to severe (hypo)mania phases (often leading to hospitalization). However, the reality of clinical practice shows another evidence: soft bipolar spectrum is probably the most frequent expression of this disorder. More than 40% of major depressions and 2/3 of recurrent or resistant depressions are part of this spectrum, which seems to be highly but neglected in pharmacological and especially in psychological treatment processes. |
