Despite homogenous clinical presentations between bipolar and unipolar disorders, there are distinct neurobiological differences. Chronicity of illness may be a factor impacting and sustaining certain neural features. The goal of this study was to investigate common and shared neural mechanisms underlying mood disorders, and possible sustained neural changes relating to illness chronicity by investigating a cohort of euthymic patients with bipolar disorder (BD), unipolar depression who had responded to treatment (treatment‐sensitive depression, TSD), and a chronically treatment‐resistant depressed (TRD) group.
