[Rapidly cycling bipolar disorders]
Abstract
Rapid cyclers are defined by the occurrence of four or more mood episodes during the previous 12 months. Clinical, epidemiological and population characteristics of these patients are presented as well as studies that validate them. Hypotheses and theoretical models allowing their analysis are reviewed. The last part of the paper deals with treatments.
