N2  - The notion of "mixity" of the dysphoric phases of the bipolarity includes the most insidious symptoms of the bipolar spectrum of mood disorders: the overlapping between depression-restlessness-irritability-grief-tension-anxiety can cause worsening of the mood disorders and in the most acute phases may cause increased risk of major behavioural disruption including murder and suicide. The "mixity" is a dynamic notion describing the presence of overlapping symptoms of mixed states, in an increasing intensity level. The early utilization of the rating scale on mixed states, "GT-MSRS", which can demonstrate the level of "mixity" of the mood disorder, can prevent this. Mixed states occur in an average of 40% of bipolar patients over a lifetime;when considering bipolarity the notion of the "mixity" becomes the conceptual reference point of the diagnostic process.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
