Therefore, in this narrative review, we provide an overview of the literature on biological mechanisms underlying emotional dysregulation in BD including genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, neuroimaging findings, inflammation, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction, neuroplasticity and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and circadian rhythm disturbances. Here, BDNF is linked to Behcet disease.
