Summary
This textbook chapter addresses circadian rhythm disruptions as a core component of bipolar disorder's pathophysiology, with implications for how lighting interventions might be used alongside medical and psychological treatments. Understanding the circadian neurobiology of bipolar disorder is relevant for designing lighting environments in psychiatric care settings to support mood stabilization and sleep regulation.
