Bipolar disorder affects over 2% of the population and has a serious impact on lives of those who suffer from this mental illness. CIBERSAM's research programme on this illness is one of the world leaders in the identification of the causes and treatment of bipolar disorder and it is making a substantial contribution to improving its prognosis, both through pharmacotherapy and innovative psychological interventions. CIBERSAM's research has made possible to identify risk genes, brain circuits involved in emotional dysregulation, biomarkers and psychosocial triggers involved in the onset of the disorder which, in the future, with the necessary financial support, will bring us ever closer to the goal of curing and effectively preventing the disease.
