Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The investigations applied DSM-III schizophreniform criteria to 111 patients satisfying Feighner criteria for mania. Thirteen manics (12%) who met the DSM-III criteria were compared to the remaining manics. Manics satisfying DSM-III schizophreniform criteria had more depressive symptoms, but the two groups did not differ significantly on a number of demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables previously found to discriminate schizophrenics from affectives. The morbid risk for affective disorder in first-degree relatives of manics satisfying DSM-III schizophreniform criteria, although not significantly different, was one-third that of the remaining manics. However, the morbid risk for alcoholism in the relatives of the schizophreniform sample was twice that of the other group. The relative groups did not differ in combined morbid risk for alcoholism and affective disorder. The validity for psychiatric research of the DSM-III schizophreniform category is discussed in light of these findings. |
