Genetic Epidemiology of Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder: a review
Journal Title: INDIAN JOURNAL OF MENTAL HEALTH - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
There is considerable significance for partial genetical overlap between schizophrenia and bipolar disorders based on family and twin studies. Though the two disorders are treated differently by their diagnostic categories, recent evidence supports that they are more closely associated. Inspite of considerable overlap in epidemiologic features, there is no specification of the risk factors. Moreover, a significant overlap in the genes contributing to schizophrenia and bipolar disorder has been revealed by family and twin studies. Keeping all these in view, the findings in various studies from the worldwide are reviewed after a careful research of articles published in Indian journal of psychiatry, Libigenesis, Scihub and Pubmed.
