This trial has two studies. In study 1, the investigators will explore the relationships between three psychobiological factors (sleep patterns, motor activity, and decision-making ability). The investigators aim to investigate how these factors interact in BD patients. This understanding will facilitate the distinction of BD patients from patients with recurrent depressive disorder (MDD) and healthy controls. In study 2, the investigators will continue following patients with bipolar disorder and use the interplay between the three psychobiological factors to develop early markers of full-blown affective episodes.

Sleep onset
Smartwatch measure of sleep onset.
12 weeks for study 1; 1 year for study 2
Motor activity
Smartwatch data on number of steps each half time of the day
12 weeks for study 1; 1 year for study 2
Learning rate
We will administer a reward learning task and use computational modeling to extract a learning rate.

150 Individuals with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder will participate in studies 1 and 2
250 patients from three affective clinics in the Stockholm Region (Northwest Psychiatry, North Stockholm Psychiatry, Southwest Psychiatry) who have been referred for assessment for bipolar disorder. Based on clinical experience, approximately 20% (approximately 50 patients) will ultimately be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, while the remaining 200 patients will retain their diagnosis of recurrent depression and be included as a comparison group in study 1 only. The 50 patients newly diagnosed with bipolar disorder will be included in studies 1 and 2.
200 Individuals with no major psychiatric disorder will participate in study 1 only.
* Healthy control comes from the Stockholm region general population. * Patients comes from different psychiatric clinics in the Stockholm region.
