TL;DR
Higher levels of stress and perceptions of less available and poorer quality close relationships are associated with recurrence, and interventions that target these psychosocial vulnerabilities may help alter the course of bipolar I disorder.
Abstract
Higher levels of stress and perceptions of less available and poorer quality close relationships are associated with recurrence. Interventions that target these psychosocial vulnerabilities may help alter the course of bipolar I disorder. Research with larger samples should further examine the possible polarity-specific effects of social risk factors.
