One of the major objectives of the French National EPIDEP Study was to show the feasibility of systematic assessment of bipolar II (BP-II) disorder and beyond. In this report we focus on the utility of the affective temperament scales (ATS) in delineating this spectrum in its clinical as well as socially desirable expressions.
Validating affective temperaments in their subaffective and socially positive attributes: psychometric, clinical and familial data from a French national study.
