Different risk factors are associated with the onset and persistence of subthreshold mania and depression symptoms in young people, researchers have found.

“Little is known about the factors that influence persistence of subthreshold expression of bipolar psychopathology,” explain Marieke Wichers (Maastricht University, The Netherlands) and team.

They add: “Insights into the causes of persistence would facilitate the identification of subjects at risk in an early stage of the development of psychopathology and make early intervention possible.”

The researchers therefore assessed data from the Early Developmental Stages of Psychopathology study (EDSP) on 705 young people from Munich, Germany, who were aged 14-17 years at baseline.

The participants were interviewed at baseline and at regular intervals over an average followup period of 8.3 years using the Munich-Composite International Diagnostic Interview (DIA-X/M-CIDI), an updated version of the World Health Organization’s CIDI version 1.2.

Mood symptoms were assessed using 28 items of the DIA-X/M-CIDI depression and dysthymia section and 11 items of the DIA-X/M-CIDI mania section.
