Objective: The aim of this study to determine the prevalence of anxiety disorders in publically treated psychiatric inpatients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder. Method: Using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R (SCID), 100 consecutive inpatients with a psychotic disorder were examined for the presence or absence of an anxiety disorder. Questionnaire measures of phobias, obsessive-compulsive and general anxiety symptoms were also applied. Results: The prevalences of social phobia (17%), obsessiv-ompulsive disorder (13%) and generalised anxiety disorder in schizophrenia were relatively high, as were prevalences of obsessive-compulsive (30%) and panic disorder (15%) in bipolar disorder. The proportion of subjects with an anxiety disorder (4345%) was almost identical across the three psychoses, with some evidence of gender differences. Although self-ratings of overall psychiatric symptoms were significantly elevated in those with anxiety disorders, hospital admission rates were not. Conclusions: Almost none of those with anxíeGty disorders were being treated for them, primarily because the severity of the acute psychotic illness required full diagnostic and therapeutic attention. Patients were generally discharged as soon as their psychotic episode was resolved, with little recognition of the presence of an anxiety disorder. Given that anxiety disorders are relatively responsive to treatment, greater awareness of their comorbidity with psychosis should yield worthwhile clinical benefits.

Quetiapine is an antipsychotic drug with proven efficacy in the treatment of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder as well as recurrent depression and generalized anxiety disorder. There is also evidence of the efficacy of quetiapine in other disorders dominated by affective and/or anxiety symptoms, for which treatment is not registered in Poland. The paper presents information useful in medical practice and presents descriptions of use cases.

Bipolar disorder is a chronic and severe mental disorder characterized by affective lability and emotion dysregulation. In addition, it is associated with high rates of comorbidity, particularly with anxiety disorders. Approximately 90% of bipolar patients have been diagnosed with at least one comorbid anxiety disorder across the lifespan, with as many as two-thirds of patients meeting criteria for comorbid anxiety disorder at any given time. As such, transdiagnostic treatments that directly target emotion dysregulation in bipolar disorder are needed. In this chapter, we discuss evidence supporting an emotion dysregulation model of bipolar disorder and its roots in neuroticism. We then present a recent case of a patient with bipolar disorder with comorbid anxiety who received 18 sessions of treatment with the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP).
