Bipolar Disorders is an international journal that focuses on the fundamental mechanisms, clinical aspects, and treatment of bipolar disorder and related conditions. The journal aims to provide a single international channel for new research in the field, covering studies in the following areas: biochemistry, physiology, neuropsychopharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuropathology, genetics, brain imaging, epidemiology, phenomenology, as well as the clinical aspects and treatment of bipolar disorder. Additionally, the journal welcomes papers on new therapeutic strategies for these disorders, as well as topics related to schizoaffective disorder and depressive disorders, as these may overlap with bipolar disorder. The journal considers submissions in various formats, including viewpoints, research articles, communications, clinical corners, and reflections. There are multiple types of articles: invited editorials, debates, review articles, original research, letters to the editor, clinical dilemmas, clinical curiosities, clinical care, and reflections.
