Summary
There is a curious disparity between the body of literature linking the dopamine system to schizophrenia/psychosis and bipolar disorder. This is surprising, given the similarities between the tenets of the dopamine hypothesis and schizophrenia and some states observed in bipolar disorder.
In this chapter, the author will present the evidence for a link between changes in the dopamine system and facets of bipolar disorder, the use of antipsychotics in bipolar disorder, and the possible integration of this knowledge in studying antipsychotic response and the dopamine system in bipolar disorder.
