Objective: The aim of the present study was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measures in euthymic patients with bipolar I and II disorder. We included as comparison samples a group of subjects with recurrent major depression (RMD) and a group of non-psychiatrically ill individuals.Method: HRQoL was assessed using the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) in 253 subjects recruited in 5 Italian centers: 90 patients with bipolar I disorder, 52 patients with bipolar II disorder, 61 subjects with RMD and 50 healthy comparison individuals. All subjects were evaluated with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV; psychiatric patients had to be in a euthymic state for at least 2 months prior to the inclusion in the study, as confirmed by a Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression total score
