Objective: To determine and compare the incidence of early non-psychotic deviant behaviour (i.e. under the age of ten) in Afrikaner patients with bipolar disorder, schizo-affective disorder and schizophrenia. Methods: Patients with bipolar disorder, schizo-affective disorder and schizophrenia were interviewed using a structured questionnaire probing for early deviant childhood behaviour startin...
Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a subtype of affective disorder, which causes significant distress but has no-definitive treatments available till date. Research on SAD has shown variable prevalence due to different climates and latitudes in which these studies are carried outThe present study was an attempt to study prevalence of SAD, its socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and...
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of affective temperaments between clinically unaffected relatives of bipolar patients and secondarily to investigate the impact of these "subaffective" forms on their quality of life (QoL). METHODS The study was performed in seven sites across Argentina. We administered the scales TEMPS-A and Quality of Life Index to a sample o...
The use of lithium for the treatment of mania, prophylaxis of bipolar disorder and augmentation of antidepressants in treatment-refractory unipolar depression is supported by British Association for Psychopharmacology and National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines. We describe prescribing patterns with lithium in a large sample of patients with affective disorders. Data we...
BACKGROUND Cognitive functioning in affective psychosis and schizoaffective disorder is much less studied compared with schizophrenia. AIMS To quantitatively undertake a meta-analysis of the available data that directly compares cognitive functioning across schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and affective psychosis. METHOD Following a thorough literature review, 31 studies that compare...
Some studies have indicated that the capacity of self-assessment of affective state is more compromised during mania than during depression. In the present study, we investigated whether the reliability of self-assessment in bipolar disorder varies as a function of actual affective state (i.e., euthymia, mania, or depression). Sixty-five patients with a diagnosis of type I and type II bipolar d...
Abstract Schizophrenia and affective disorders are the main forms of severe mental illness among women of childbearing age; earlier this century European and American studies showed that the fertility of these patients was reduced. Since the second world war the development of community-orientated psychiatry appears to have resulted in a lessening of differentials between patients and normal ...
The genes encoding for the enzymes monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B are good candidates to investigate bipolar affective disorder. A 30 bp repeat in the MAOA promoter was recently demonstrated to be polymorphic and to affect transcriptional activity. In a family-based association design we found that none of the different repeat copies was preferentially transmitted from mothers (n = 131) to the...
Depression is a frequently occurring symptom in schizophrenia. While today it is often underrecognised and under-treated, historically such symptoms were the focus of much attention. Affective symptoms were used by Kraepelin as an important criterion with which to separate dementia praecox from manic–depressive illness. Kraepelin also recognised the importance of depression as a symptom in schi...
