Abstract
Provision or continuity of maintenance treatment was found to be compromised in more than one-third of BD patients during their first follow-up maintenance phase. As expected, clinical diagnosis of BD has a decisive role in determining adequacy of maintenance treatments. However, also rapid cycling may facilitate provision of adequate maintenance treatment, whereas outpatients and those with comorbid personality disorders may be disadvantaged subgroups.
