Popis: Introduction Recent theories hypothesized that chonobiological dis-rhythmicity might contribute to Bipolar disorders (BD) by dysregulating most of the systems involved in mood, stress and emotion regulation. In particular, the key role of sleep in regulating stress system and emotions has been hypothesized. Among other important factors contributing to BD the stress vulnerability/resilience dimension may play a key role. In particular low resilience has been associated with a dysregulation in emotions and stress response possibly involved in psychopathological process of BDs Objectives The study aimed to investigate the possible impact of resilience and emotion dysregulation on the clinical manifestations of bipolar disorders (BDs) focusing on the possible role of circadian rhythm alterations. Methods A sample of 197 inpatients suffering from BD of type I (BDI) or II (BDII) were assessed during a major depressive episode using the Structural Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5), the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA), Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN), Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Scale for Suicide Ideation (SSI). Participants with or without circadian rhythm disturbances as measured with Biological Rhythms Interview of Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (BRIAN), were compared; regression and mediation analyses were computed. Results Participants with circadian rhythms disturbances showed a greater severity of depressive symptoms, of suicidal risk, lower resilience and more disturbances in emotion regulation including impulsivity and regulatory strategies. The logistic regression revealed that circadian rhythm disturbances was related to depressive symptoms (O.R. 4.0), suicidal risk (OR 2.51), emotion dysregulation (OR 2.28) and low resilience (OR 2.72). At the mediation analyses, circadian rhythm alterations showed an indirect effect on depressive symptoms by impairing resilience (Z= 3.17, p=0.0014)/ emotional regulation (Z= 4.36, p
