Affective dimensions as a diagnostic tool for bipolar disorder in first psychotic episodes

Abstract

The activation dimension is a diagnostic predictor for bipolar disorder in FEP. The manic dimension contributes to a bipolar diagnosis and its absence can lead to early misdiagnosis.

Depressive psychopathology in first-episode schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a systematic review, meta-analysis and meta-regression

“…Thirty-five studies comprising 3180 participants examined the severity of depressive symptoms (Binder et al ., 1998; Zalsman et al ., 2003; Kampman et al ., 2004; Bendall et al ., 2008; Arranz et al ., 2009; Chen et al ., 2009; Strous et al , 2006; Strous et al ., 2009; Barrett et al ., 2010; Cotton et al ., 2010; Roche et al ., 2010; Upthegrove et al ., 2010; Chang et al ., 2011; Pena et al ., 2011; Shoval et al ., 2011; Riedel et al ., 2012; Stowkowy et al ., 2012; Zhao et al ., 2012; Allott et al ., 2013; Tosato et al ., 2013; Arrasate et al ., 2014; Chang et al ., 2014; Stouten et al ., 2014; Chang et al ., 2015; Emsley et al ., 2015; Noto et al ., 2015; Ruggeri et al ., 2015; Sanchez-Gistau et al ., 2015; Ebdrup et al ., 2016; Garcia et al ., 2016; Pawelczyk et al ., 2016; Chang et al ., 2017; Herniman et al ., 2017; Lee et al ., 2017; Zabala et al ., 2017).

Prognostic Value of Affective Symptoms in First-Admission Psychotic Patients

“…Of these patients, 91 (81.25%) and 82 (73.2%) patients were available for analysis at three and five years of follow-up. Sociodemographic and clinical baseline characteristics have been described in a previous publication [ 34 ].…”

Instruments that prospectively predict bipolar disorder – A systematic review

“…Studies or sub-samples were excluded when BD I or II were included in the baseline sample and it was not possible to exclude data for these participants (Alloy et al, 2012;Arrasate et al, 2013). Two authors (AR, SC) confirmed decisions about eligibility when there was doubt about the interpretation of inclusion and exclusion criteria.…”
