Biological rhythms and mood disorders.

Biological rhythms and mood disorders. Dialogues Clin Neurosci. 2012 Dec;14(4):369-79 Authors: Salvatore P, Indic P, Murray G, Baldessarini RJ Abstract Integration of several approaches concerning time and temporality can enhance the pathophysiological study of major mood disorders of unknown etiology. We propose that these conditions might be interpreted as disturbances of temporal profile of biological rhythms, as well as alterations of time-consciousness. Useful approaches to study time and temporality include philological suggestions, phenomenological and psychopathological conceptualizatíons, clinical descriptions, and research on circadian and ultradían rhythms, as well as nonlinear dynamics approaches to their analysis.
