- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is known to be substantially heritable; however, the contribution of genetic variation across the allele frequency spectrum to this heritability remains uncertain. The authors used two new homogeneous cohorts to estimate the heritability of OCD from inherited genetic variation and contrasted the results with those of previous studies.The sample consisted of 2,090 Swedish-born individuals diagnosed with OCD and 4,567 control subjects, all genotyped for common genetic variants, specifically >400,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥0.01. Using genotypes of these SNPs to estimate distant familial relationships among individuals, the authors estimated the heritability of OCD, both overall and partitioned according to MAF bins.Narrow-sense heritability of OCD was estimated at 29% (SE=4%). The estimate was robust, varying only modestly under different models. Contrary to an earlier study, however, SNPs with MAF between 0.01 and 0.05 accounted for 10% of heritability, and estimated heritability per MAF bin roughly followed expectations based on a simple model for SNP-based heritability.These results indicate that common inherited risk variation (MAF ≥0.01) accounts for most of the heritable variation in OCD. SNPs with low MAF contribute meaningfully to the heritability of OCD, and the results are consistent with expectation under the "infinitesimal model" (also referred to as the "polygenic model"), where risk is influenced by a large number of loci across the genome and across MAF bins.

- The aims of this study were to investigate secular trends and distribution of body mass index (BMI) among individuals with bipolar disorders and the general population between 2008 and 2019.Data were from the Swedish National Quality Register for Bipolar Disorder, where 24,423 adults with bipolar disorders were identified, and from the national Swedish Living Conditions Surveys, where 77,485 adults from the general population were identified. Quantile regression was used to compare the 15th, 50th, and 85th percentiles of BMI across age and study years.The study sample included 22,127 individuals with bipolar disorders (mean age, 48 years; 63% women) and 71,894 individuals from the general population (mean age, 52 years; 51% women). BMI percentiles were higher among individuals with bipolar disorders. At the 50th percentile, the BMI group differences were 1.1 (95% CI=0.8-1.14) for men and 1.8 (95% CI=1.5-2.1) for women. The gap was widest at the 85th BMI percentile: men, 2.3 (95% CI=1.8-2.8); women, 4.1 (95% CI=3.7-4.6). BMI increased over time in both study groups, but more in the group with bipolar disorders. The changes per decade in mean BMI were 0.4 (95% CI=0.3-0.5) among men in the general population, 1.1 (95% CI=0.7-1.4) among men with bipolar disorders, 0.6 (95% CI=0.5-0.7) among women in the general population, and 1.4 (95% CI=1.1-1.7) among women with bipolar disorders. Women with bipolar disorders had the highest prevalence and the greatest rate of increase of obesity. In 2019, the obesity prevalence was 33% among women and 29% among men with bipolar disorders, compared with 13% and 15%, respectively, among women and men in the general population.Adults with bipolar disorders had a higher BMI and a higher prevalence of obesity than the general population, indicating a higher cardiometabolic risk. Annually, BMI increased more in the group with bipolar disorders than in the general population, particularly among women and among those with high BMI.

- Identifying biomarkers associated with response to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may aid clinical decisions. The authors examined whether greater polygenic liabilities for major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are associated with improvement following ECT for a major depressive episode.Between 2013 and 2017, patients who had at least one treatment series recorded in the Swedish National Quality Register for ECT were invited to provide a blood sample for genotyping. The present study included 2,320 participants (median age, 51 years; 62.8% women) who had received an ECT series for a major depressive episode (77.1% unipolar depression), who had a registered treatment outcome, and whose polygenic risk scores (PRSs) could be calculated. Ordinal logistic regression was used to estimate the effect of PRS on Clinical Global Impressions improvement scale (CGI-I) score after each ECT series.Greater PRS for major depressive disorder was significantly associated with less improvement on the CGI-I (odds ratio per standard deviation, 0.89, 95% CI=0.82, 0.96; R2=0.004), and greater PRS for bipolar disorder was associated with greater improvement on the CGI-I (odds ratio per standard deviation, 1.14, 95% CI=1.05, 1.23; R2=0.005) after ECT. PRS for schizophrenia was not associated with improvement. In an overlapping sample (N=1,207) with data on response and remission derived from the self-rated version of the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale, results were similar except that schizophrenia PRS was also associated with remission.Improvement after ECT is associated with polygenic liability for major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder, providing evidence of a genetic component for ECT clinical response. These liabilities may be considered along with clinical predictors in future prediction models of ECT outcomes.

- Objective: Conclusions regarding lithium's antisuicidal effect for bipolar disorder have been limited due to nonrepresentative subjects and potential confounding factors, including varying severity of illness. Findings regarding the effect of valproate, the most common alternative to lithium, are inconsistent for suicidal behavior. This study investigated the associations of these two drugs with the risk of suicide-related events, and possible differences between drugs, by using within-individual designs in a register-based longitudinal cohort.Method: Through linkage of multiple Swedish national registers, 51,535 individuals with bipolar disorder were followed from 2005 to 2013 for treatment with lithium and valproate. Stratified Cox regression was used to estimate the hazard ratios of suicide-related events during treated periods compared with untreated periods. For significant associations between medication and suicide-related events, the population attributable fraction was estimated to assess the public health impact for patients with bipolar disorder.Results: During follow-up, 10,648 suicide-related events occurred. The incidence rate was significantly decreased by 14% during lithium treatment (hazard ratio 0.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78-0.95) but not during valproate treatment (hazard ratio 1.02, 95% CI 0.89-1.15). The difference in hazard ratios of suicide-related events between lithium and valproate was statistically significant. Estimates of the population attributable fraction suggested that 12% (95% CI 4% 220%) of suicide-related events could have been avoided if patients had taken lithium during the entire follow-up.Conclusions: The results suggest that lithium should be considered for patients with bipolar disorder with suspected suicidal intentions, although risk for suicide is only one of the considerations when providing clinical care.

- OBJECTIVE: The authors investigated the relative importance of genetic and environmental influences on perinatal depression, and the genetic overlap between perinatal depression and nonperinatal depression. METHOD: Analyses were conducted using structural equation modeling for 1) the lifetime version of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in 3,427 Swedish female twins and 2) clinical diagnoses of depression separated into perinatal depression and nonperinatal depression in a Swedish population-based cohort of 580,006 sisters. RESULTS: In the twin study, the heritability of perinatal depression was estimated at 54% (95% CI=35%-70%), with the remaining variance attributable to nonshared environment (46%; 95% CI=31%-65%). In the sibling design, the heritability of perinatal depression was estimated at 44% (95% CI=35%-52%) and the heritability of nonperinatal depression at 32% (95% CI=24%-41%). Bivariate analysis showed that 14% of the total variance (or 33% of the genetic variance) in perinatal depression was unique for perinatal depression. CONCLUSIONS: The heritability of perinatal depression was estimated at 54% and 44%, respectively, in separate samples, and the heritability of nonperinatal depression at 32%. One-third of the genetic contribution was unique to perinatal depression and not shared with nonperinatal depression, suggesting only partially overlapping genetic etiologies for perinatal depression and nonperinatal depression. The authors suggest that perinatal depression constitutes a subset of depression that could be prioritized for genomic discovery efforts. The study findings have direct translational impact that can assist clinicians in the counseling of their patients regarding risk and prognosis of perinatal depression.

- Objective: This study examined the risk of antidepressant-induced manic switch in patients with bipolar disorder treated either with antidepressant monotherapy or with an antidepressant in conjunction with a mood stabilizer. Method: Using Swedish national registries, the authors identified 3,240 patients with bipolar disorder who started treatment with an antidepressant and had no antidepressant treatment during the previous year. Patients were categorized into those receiving antidepressant monotherapy and those receiving an antidepressant plus a mood stabilizer. A within-individual design was used to control for confounding by disorder severity, genetic makeup, and early environmental factors. Cox regression analyses conditioned on individual were used to compare the rate of mania 0–3 months and 3–9 months after the start of antidepressant treatment with a preceding non-treatment period. Results: Nearly 35% of the patients were treated with antidepressant monotherapy. The increased risk of treatment-emergent mania was confined to patients on antidepressant monotherapy (hazard ratio=2.83, 95% CI=1.12, 7.19). Among patients treated with a concurrent mood stabilizer, no acute change in risk of mania was observed during the 3 months after the start of antidepressant treatment (hazard ratio=0.79, 95% CI=0.54, 1.15), and a decreased risk was observed during the period 3–9 months after treatment initiation (hazard ratio=0.63, 95% CI=0.42, 0.93). Conclusions: In this national registry study, antidepressant monotherapy was associated with an increased risk of mania. However, no risk of mania was seen in patients receiving an antidepressant while treated with a mood stabilizer. The results highlight the importance of avoiding antidepressant monotherapy in the treatment of bipolar disorder.
