Abstract

This article reviews information on the application and research of new technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of bipolar affective disorder. This disease is a rather severe pathology of the psyche, characterized by periodic episodes of mania or hypomania and episodes of depression that succeed each other, which has a detrimental effect on the quality of life of individuals affected by the aforementioned disease. However, new technologies such as deep brain stimulation, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, and genetic research to identify markers of bipolar disorder, which contribute to scientific progress in solving this problem, together with psychotherapy, are a crucial link that complements treatment, allowing taking it to a new level. Certainly, the relevance and effectiveness of a particular method of treatment and diagnosis is confirmed by numerous studies. For instance, the evidence of the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation is still at the research stage, while telemedicine is actively used in treatment, but is not yet officially included in the standards of clinical recommendations. Also, according to the scientific literature, blood markers have a fairly high effect in diagnosis, but are not officially indicated for use among routine examinations worldwide. The application of artificial intelligence at the present time is only possible under the control of a human specialist, therefore this method, like deep brain stimulation, is at the development stage. Meanwhile, various apps (e.g., Moodpath) are actively used, despite the fact that the evidence base for their efficacy is still at the stage of collecting evidence and conducting research.
