This paper presents a discussion about comorbidity between bipolar disorder (BD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suggests the need for some cases to be better evaluated in light of the new theories proposed by the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) – especially those cases in which PTSD co-occurs with dysphoric symptoms that may be classified as BD, even when not fulfilling all the criteria. In this case, comorbidity is questioned, and a deeper knowledge of the physiopathology of the overlapping symptomatologyis proposed. Clinically, this new view can facilitate the pharmacological management of severe patients with a history of trauma.
