“…Mood stabilizers also can result in development of a tremor, which can be managed effectively with propranolol. This is an important consideration when caring for athletes receiving psychiatric treatment from prescribers outside of the athletic community, who may not be aware that beta blockers are prohibited in certain sports and would require a therapeutic use exemption to avoid unnecessary disqualification (27).…”

“…Although not specific to patients with bipolar disorder, existing evidence suggests that patients with ADHD who are treated with stimulants are less likely to misuse substances compared with those with untreated ADHD (24). Still, care should be taken when prescribing stimulants to patients with bipolar disorder who have a propensity to or history of substance misuse (25,27). Close monitoring of response to treatment can provide useful information when considering the risks and benefits of stimulant use in each individual case.…”

Bipolar disorder is a diagnosis with immense lifelong implications that affects 1% to 2% of the general population. It typically presents during late adolescence and early adulthood, which often coincides with the age of peak athletic performance and a limited window of opportunity to compete at the highest levels of sport. Understanding the nature and course of the illness, as well as the effects that pharmacological treatment can have on an athlete, can be extremely beneficial for sports medicine physicians, particularly as many young athletes may not yet be diagnosed and/or adequately treated. Bipolar disorder is an incredibly complex and challenging diagnosis, but the ability to identify symptoms and intervene early is invaluable. The aim of this review is to summarize the available evidence and to highlight relevant risk factors, diagnostic features, management, and potential complications pertaining to the athletic population.

“…No pharmacological treatments approved for either bipolar or psychotic disorders require a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE). On occasion, beta-blockers have been used to manage tremor as a side effect of lithium therapy or akathisia as a side effect of antipsychotics; a TUE would be required for this treatment in certain sports and situations 86. Possible pharmacological treatments for athletes are summarised in table 4.…”

Bipolar and psychotic disorders are relatively common and likely to have a significant impact on quality of life and functioning which, in the context of elite sport, includes a potential negative impact on sporting performance. For this narrative review article, the literature on bipolar and psychotic disorders in elite athletes was comprehensively searched, and little empirical research was found. A diagnosis of bipolar or psychotic disorders may be challenging in elite athletes because of complicating factors related to the modifying role of exercise and potential precipitating impact of substance use. Medications used to treat bipolar and psychotic disorders may have side effects particularly problematic for elite athletes. Future research should be tailored to the specific characteristics and needs of elite athletes and to the sporting context in which the disorders may arise. Specifically, further research is needed on the prevalence and incidence of these conditions in elite athletes and the impact of both the disorders and their treatments on sporting performance.
