3.3 predicting bipolar trajectories: a risk calculator for recurrence and neural underpinnings

The trajectory of bipolar disorder (BD) in youth is heterogeneous; although some youth experience frequent mood episodes, others may never have a recurrence. Quantifying risk for recurrence for the individual patient has important ramifications for prognosis and potentially treatment. Risk calculators (RC) have been used in other areas of medicine to quantify risk, and we describe a RC here for BD recurrence, as well as neural correlates of risk score.
