TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - [Anxiety in patients with bipolar affective disorder] JO - Ugeskrift for Laeger A1 - Jensen, Rasmus Nejst A1 - Csillag, Claudio A1 - Vinberg, Maj SP - V12200973 EP - V12200973 VL - 183 IS - 22 N2 - Up to half of all patients with bipolar affective disorder (BP), develop a comorbid anxiety disorder during their lifetime. The consequences of comorbid anxiety in BP compared to BP without comorbid anxiety are serious, including more frequent and severe depressions and twice the risk of substance abuse and suicide attempts. In this review we argue, that due to the poorer prognosis of these conditions, it is important to diagnose comorbid anxiety when present, and to ensure proper treatment, which should be performed by a psychiatrist preferably specialised in affective disorders.
