Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Expressed emotion, which refers to the level of emotion expressed by family members towards the person with bipolar disorder, has been shown to predict relapse in bipolar disorder. High levels of expressed emotion, characterized by criticism, hostility, and emotional overinvolvement, are associated with increased risk of relapse in individuals with bipolar disorder. Expressed emotion is not a predictor of the existence of bipolar disorder, age of onset, or the presence of psychotic features.
