Affective Lability

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).

The article is devoted to the study of nocturnal enuresis and frequency of comorbid anxiety disorders in children with this disease.

Analysis of the identified symptoms showed that more of the study group are generalized anxiety disorder (31.8 %) and phobic anxiety disorder (40.9 %).

The Impact

Objective: This exploratory study measured the impact of comorbid anxiety disorders on sleep in children with ADHD and tested the effect of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) on these measures. Method: Fifty-seven children (8-12 years old) were assessed with the Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire. Four groups were formed: ADHD ( n = 20), ADHD + Anxiety ( n = 20), Anxiety ( n = 8), and Healthy Controls ( n = 9). A subgroup of 10 children with ADHD + Anxiety underwent CBT for anxiety. Results: The results showed that sleep difficulties were better associated with anxiety than with ADHD. CBT reduced sleep onset latency and marginally decreased the total amount of sleep problems. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates that comorbid anxiety in ADHD children is linked with specific sleep disturbances and is sensitive to CBT aimed at reducing anxiety.
