This research examines the influence of anxiety on the acute treatment response of patients with bipolar I disorder, a mental health condition characterized by episodes of mania and depression. The study investigates the relationship between anxiety symptoms and treatment outcomes, highlighting the importance of addressing anxiety in bipolar disorder management.

Understanding the interplay between anxiety and bipolar disorder is crucial for effective treatment and support.
