Increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among psychiatric inpatients with bipolar I affective and schizoaffective disorders independent of psychotropic drug use.

TL;DR: There is no evidence at this time to suggest that ziprasidone and aripiprazole treatment are associated with an increase in risk for diabetes, dyslipidaemia or other adverse effects on glucose or lipid metabolism, but case reports tentatively suggest that substantial weight gain or obesity may not be a factor in up to one-quarter of cases of new-onset diabetes.

TL;DR: The British Association for Psychopharmacology guidelines specify the scope and targets of treatment for bipolar disorder, and recommend strategies for the use of medicines in short-term treatment of episodes, relapse prevention and stopping treatment.

TL;DR: A growing body of evidence suggests that biological mechanisms underlie a bidirectional link between mood disorders and many medical illnesses and there is evidence to suggest that mood disorders affect the course of medical illnesses.

TL;DR: Although the overlap between mood disorders and obesity may be coincidental, it suggests the two conditions may be related.

TL;DR: The presence of diabetes doubles the odds of comorbid depression, and the prevalence of depression was significantly higher in diabetic women than in diabetic men, and in uncontrolled studies than in controlled studies.

TL;DR: The present review did not consider cyclic, seasonal, irritable-dysphoric or otherwise impulse-ridden, intermittently explosive or agitated psychiatric conditions for which the bipolar connection is less established.

TL;DR: The frequency of diabetes mellitus in hospitalized patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder is higher than in the general population, and possibly due to a genetic relationship between the disorders, a causal relationship in which hypercortisolemia induces diabetes or diabetic vascular lesions contribute to mania.

TL;DR: Findings indicate the existence of a functional state of insulin resistance during major depressive illness and suggest the presence of a more generalized biological disturbance in some depressed patients.
