Abstract
Being able to anticipate the discovery of a disease in a given individual remains a clinical challenge. In the case of bipolar disorder (BD), the prodromal phase can be relatively long. Mood lability and the manifestation of depression are the most consistent warning signs. Anxiety, particularly panic attacks, is often a precursor. Early detection of prodromal symptoms may contribute to improving the prognosis of patients with BD. The main objective of this paper is to present the different procedures for the identification of initial and relapse prodromes in these patients.
