Abstract

Objective: Caregivers appear to experience mental health implications related to their role in supporting patients with bipolar disorder (BD). This study aimed to review literature assessing the presence of not only psychiatric symptoms but also mental disorders and personality disorders in caregivers of patients with BD.

Methodology: This is a narrative review. Articles were searched in some computerized databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, PsychINFO, Liliacs, and Scielo up to June 2024. Inclusion criteria comprised articles in any language, focusing on primary caregivers of BD patients, and quantitative studies evaluating the presence of mental disorder, personality disorder, or psychiatric symptoms in this caregiver group.

Results: The review encompassed 15 articles. Only two studies utilized appropriate diagnostic instruments for assessing mental disorder, and no article evaluated personality disorder. Prevalence of caregiver's psychiatric symptoms and mental disorder was found to be higher compared to the general population.

Conclusions: The lack of studies employing diagnostic assessment tools for mental disorder in these individuals may impede timely access to treatment, affecting both the caregiver's health and the course of patients with BD. This study provides an updated overview of research on caregivers of patients with BD, despite the limitation of not being a systematic review. Further studies employing diagnostic assessments on caregivers are essential to gain deeper insights into this critical topic.

双相情感障碍患者照顾者的精神障碍诊断:科学文献中的空白。
目的:照护者在照护双相情感障碍(BD)患者的过程中似乎会受到心理健康方面的影响。本研究旨在回顾文献,评估双相情感障碍患者护理者不仅存在精神症状,还存在精神障碍和人格障碍的情况:这是一篇叙述性综述。截至 2024 年 6 月,我们在一些计算机数据库中检索了相关文章,包括 PubMed、Embase、Web of Science、PsychINFO、Liliacs 和 Scielo。纳入标准包括以任何语言撰写的文章,重点关注BD患者的主要照顾者,以及对该照顾者群体是否存在精神障碍、人格障碍或精神症状进行评估的定量研究:综述包括 15 篇文章。只有两项研究使用了适当的诊断工具来评估精神障碍,没有一篇文章对人格障碍进行评估。研究发现,与普通人群相比,照顾者的精神症状和精神障碍发生率更高:结论:缺乏采用诊断评估工具对这些人的精神障碍进行评估的研究,可能会妨碍及时获得治疗,从而影响护理者的健康和 BD 患者的病程。本研究提供了有关 BD 患者护理者的最新研究概况,尽管这还不是一项系统性综述。要想更深入地了解这一重要课题,对照顾者进行诊断评估的进一步研究是必不可少的。
