“…The manic subjects did not achieve higher communicability scores than the schizophrenics did; this is inconsistent with clinical descriptions of manic speakers as easier to understand than schizophrenics (Redlich & Freedman, 1966;Janowsky et a!, 1970;Lipkin et al, 1970). In fact, the means in Table III indicate that manic speakers were generally the least communicable at both time periods.…”

To evaluate qualitative differences in the nature of thought disorder, the 'cloze' procedure and the Scale for the Assessment of Thought, Language and Communication were used to compare speech samples from schizophrenic, depressive, manic, schizo-affective and normal subjects at two different times. At the acute phase, thought-disordered subjects (schizophrenics, manics and schizo-affectives) were less communicable than non-thought-disordered subjects (depressives and normals). Communicability increased with remission of the more flagrant features of disturbance. Comparison of the thought-disordered diagnostic groups in the rate and pattern of remission of specific features of thought disorder indicated that factors reflecting goal-disrupted cognition distinguished the groups.

“…Diagnoses of the seven cases of manicdepressive psychoses were checked by following the ICDA-8 definitions for the manic, depressed and circular types. Authors such as Lipkin (4) and more recently, Taylor, et al, (6) have warned about the erroneous diagnoses of paranoid reaction or schizophrenia, which in retrospect appeared to be manic-depressive illness. Beigel (1), developing his Manic State Rating Scale, differentiated between two symptom profile groups -one exhibiting elation and grandiosity but little paranoid and destructive behaviour, and the other group exhibiting the opposite, with more marked paranoid and destructive behaviour.…”

Manic-Depressive Psychosis and DRug Abuse

Many publications explore the causal relationship between psychiatric illness and drug abuse, but less information is available regarding the complications encountered in the diagnoses and management. Manic-depressive psychoses are reported by several authors to be underdiagnosed, and some cases may actually present a picture of alcoholism. The presence of manic-depressives among drug abusers is demonstrated in this report, and case summaries of manic-depressive patients with variable patterns of drug abuse are presented. Patterns of drug abuse as self-medication or as part of an identification process are observed; however, a controlled experimentation independent of the cyclic pattern of the illness is possible. Availability appears to be the important social determinant as to the type of drug taken.

“…Beginning in the 1970s, studies showed considerable overlap in psychotic symptoms between both disorders (Lipkin et al, 1970;Pope & Lipinski, 1978), as well as the lack of diagnostic specificity of FRS. Although they may have utility as a screening tool, they lack sensitivity and specificity in schizophrenia (Carpenter et al, 1973;Soares-Weiser et al, 2015).…”

Psychological Assessment of Bipolar Spectrum Disorders.

D istinguishing individuals with bipolar and schizophrenia spectrum disorders can be a challenging diagnostic task for assessment psychologists. Some may ask why this is the case. After all, for more than a century, diagnosticians have separated the disorders into distinct categories of severe psychopathology. Beginning with Kraepelin's distinction between dementia praecox and manic depressive insanity (Kraepelin, 1896(Kraepelin, /1921a(Kraepelin, , 1921b, and through multiple iterations in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), schizophrenia and bipolar disorders have been categorized as different families of mental disorders. However, despite this traditional categorical approach, the boundary between the disorders is not clearly delineated, making differential diagnosis a practical challenge for assessment psychologists.In this chapter, we examine conceptual and diagnostic issues that make the distinction between bipolar and schizophrenia spectrum disorders a challenge and then look at the distinguishing features of these disorders. In discussing the role of assessment, we will not duplicate instrument-specific findings presented in Parts I and II of this volume, which highlight the role of self-report and performance-based methods in diagnosing bipolar spectrum disorders. Instead, our task is to review contemporary issues and controversies and to identify areas in which schizophrenia and bipolar disorders overlap and diverge, in order to aid in differential diagnostic decision making.
