Abstract
The notion of "mixity" of the dysphoric phases of the bipolarity includes the most insidious symptoms of the bipolar spectrum of
mood disorders: the overlapping between depression-restlessness-irritability-grief-tension-anxiety can cause worsening of the mood
disorders and in the most acute phases may cause increased risk of major behavioural disruption including murder and suicide. The
early utilization of the rating scale on mixed states, "GT-MSRS", which can demonstrate the level of "mixity" of the mood disorder,
can prevent this.
