This document discusses the relationship between stress, dysregulation of rhythms, and bipolar disorder. It highlights the importance of understanding how circadian rhythms regulate biology and how disruptions in these rhythms can lead to ineffective responses to environmental cues. The document also explores the concept of the "bipolar spectrum," which includes a range of conditions from sub-clinical symptoms to severe bipolar disorders. It suggests that changes in light patterns and social rhythms may contribute to the increase in bipolar disorders in modern society. The document concludes by emphasizing the need for further research in this field. [Extracted from the article]
