Clinical Significance
Bipolar disorder in partial remission with the most recent episode being depressive indicates the patient is recovering from a depressive episode but retains residual depressive symptoms. Partial remission from bipolar depression carries risk of relapse into either depression or mania. Ongoing monitoring is essential as residual depressive symptoms are a strong predictor of future mood episodes.
