“…Earlier studies focusing on female PhDs and MDs have likewise found very high rates of depres¬ sion. [31][32] Unfortunately, those studies did not assess men as well. While we expected high rates among professional women on the basis of earlier studies, we did not expect a strikingly low rate among highly educated men.…”

“…Welner et a1 in 1979 [36] confirmed these findings and attempted a more complete analysis of psychoso-cia1 factors but concluded also that the data suggested a "high prevalence of affective disorder among women physicians".…”

“…The high morbidity in professional women [36] suggests that women in traditionally male institutions experience considerable distress. Some of the problems have already been referred to, such as the masculine culture [25], the misogyny [66], the alienation and isolation, but there is also the discounting and devaluing of what is distinctively feminine, including the possibility of quite different thinking [94].…”

Gender disadvantage within the professions significantly affects the development of women doctors, resulting in morbidity and less than optimal development. Paradoxically, for a profession primarily concerned with the study of the vicissitudes of human development, psychiatry in Australia and New Zealand has yet to articulate those issues which bear directly upon the development of its own members. Systemic problems are identified within the institutions of medicine and psychiatry which compromise the development of both female and male trainees and which must concern medical educators. Recommendations are made concerning the structure and content of training programmes, most particularly post-graduate psychiatry.

“…According to Bleuler's study schizoaffective disorder was considered as a part of schizophrenia due to the presence of symptoms considered as fundamental symptoms of psychosis and the affective symptoms were not taken into much consideration [14]. Welner et al conducted a study of family history that showed that psychosis was associated with chronic progression of illness just as seen in schizophrenia and hence supported the view of schizoaffective disorder being a part of schizophrenia [15]. Studies have found that both schizoaffective and schizophrenia patients have similar presenting pattern such as more dyskinesia and weaker family history of mood disorder.…”

Schizoaffective disorder and its classification have always been a topic of discrepancy among researchers. The overlapping presentations of schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder makes it difficult to classify and diagnose. This study is a narrative review of literatures and genetic and epidemiological research evidences, done to determine the similarities and differences between schizoaffective and psychotic bipolar disorder. Beginning from the introduction of schizoaffective disorder as "schizoaffective psychosis" by Kasanin in 1933, various researchers have proposed different views regarding the diagnosis and classifications for schizoaffective disorder. DSM-III considered schizoaffective disorder as a diagnosis of exclusion as it fails to fit the definite diagnostic criteria of schizophrenia, major affective disorders, or schizophreniform disorder. DSM-V updated the criteria of schizoaffective disorder and stated it as a life time illness rather than being an episodic disorder as in DSM-IV and hence is more reliable. However, some studies show that schizoaffective disorder patients are more like schizophrenia than mood disorder. It still remains unclear whether schizoaffective disorder is a heterogenous disease, a form of schizophrenia, a form of mood disorder or a midpoint in the continuation spectrum of schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disease.
