ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this article is to discuss the rationale/background for early intervention in bipolar disorder.

METHOD:

Narrative review.

RESULTS:

There are often significant delays before the diagnosis of bipolar disorder is made and effective management initiated. Growing evidence from both preclinical and clinical literature points to a clear need for improved early identification and early intervention in bipolar disorder. Increasing efforts are being applied to the identification of those at high risk of onset of bipolar disorder. It is hoped that identification of an early prodrome of illness will allow preventative measures to be taken.

CONCLUSIONS:

There is a clear rationale for improved early identification and early intervention in bipolar disorder.
RESUMO

OBJETIVOS:

O objetivo do artigo é discutir os fundamentos para a intervenção precoce no transtorno bipolar.

MÉTODO:

Revisão narrativa.

RESULTADOS:

Frequentemente existe um atraso significativo com relação ao momento em que o transtorno bipolar é detectado e o início do tratamento. Evidências crescentes oriundas de estudos pré-clínicos e clínicos apontam para a clara necessidade de melhorar a detecção e o tratamento precoces no transtorno bipolar. Esforços também tem sido direcionados para a identificação de indivíduos em alto risco. Espera-se que a identificação do pródromo do transtorno bipolar permita a instauração de medidas preventivas.

CONCLUSÕES:

Existem bases claras para o investimento na melhora da detecção e tratamento precoces do transtorno bipolar.
