双相障碍与单相抑郁患者雌二醇和催乳素水平对照研究

目的探讨双相障碍、单相抑郁患者与健康人群之间雌二醇、催乳素水平差异以及性激素水平与躁狂、抑郁症状之间的相关性。方法选取2014年1月-2015年5月收住北京回龙观医院的符合《国际疾病分类(第10版)》(ICD-10)双相情感障碍、抑郁发作诊断标准的患者99例(男性55例,女性44例)。采用汉密尔顿抑郁量表24项版(HAMD-24)、蒙哥马利-艾森贝格抑郁量表(MADRS)评估抑郁症状,采用贝克-拉范森躁狂量表(BRMS)评估躁狂症状;选取与患者组性别、年龄及受教育程度相匹配的42例健康人作为对照组。采用化学发光免疫分析法检测研究对象周围血中雌二醇、催乳素水平。结果催乳素水平在双相障碍组、单相抑郁组以及健康对照组之间差异有统计学意义(F=6.575,P0.05),而三组雌二醇水平差异无统计学意义(P0.05),催乳素水平与BRMS评分呈正相关(r=0.361,P=0.033),雌二醇水平与抑郁症状及躁狂症状评分相关均不显著(P0.05)。结论心境障碍患者存在性激素水平的改变;性激素水平与情感症状严重程度存在相关性。     

双相情感障碍抑郁相与单相抑郁发作临床分析

目的:对双相情感障碍抑郁相和单相抑郁发作进行临床分析。方法:对双相情感障碍抑郁相和单相抑郁发作患者各30例进行临床分析。结果:双相情感障碍抑郁相有如下特点:①发病年龄早;②女性多见;③具有“精力过盛”性人格;④一级亲属中有双相障碍的家族史;⑤症状多为非典型抑郁发作或伴有精神病性症状。结论:如首次抑郁发作的症状符合以上特点,则可能以后发展为双相情感障碍,应使用足量心境稳定剂,谨慎使用抗抑郁剂,以免转为躁狂发作。

目的:调查重性抑郁障碍(MDD)和双相障碍患者(BD)精神科共病情况。方法:采用横断面调查方法,对2011年3月至8月符合美国精神障碍诊断与统计手册第4版(DSM-Ⅳ)诊断标准的141例重性抑郁障碍和52例双相障碍患者进行一般情况问卷及国际神经精神科简式访谈问卷(MINI)调查。结果:重性抑郁障碍组和双相障碍组精神科共病率分别为30.0%和28.8%,两组共病率差异无统计学意义(χ2=0.016,P>0.05);两组共病焦虑障碍最为常见,其共病率分别为27.0%和15.4%,差异无统计学意义(χ2=2.799,P=0.094);共病酒精依赖或物质滥用差异有统计学意义(χ2=6.405,P=0.011)。结论:重性抑郁障碍和双相障碍与其他精神科疾病存在广泛共病,尤以焦虑障碍多见。     

伴混合特征的重性抑郁障碍应当归类于双相障碍吗?(英文)

概述:DSM-5抑郁障碍一章中有一新的诊断类别为"伴混合特征的重性抑郁障碍",指的是符合重性抑郁障碍的诊断标准并伴有亚综合征的轻躁狂或躁狂症状的患者。但是这一新类别的操作定义相比较于非典型抑郁症或过去"混合性抑郁症"的定义更加接近于轻躁狂和躁狂症。而且,多项研究表明,这类患者的特征和他们疾病的临床转归更接近于双相障碍患者,而不同于不伴有轻躁狂或躁狂症状的抑郁症患者。因此,我们认为,将这种情况归类于DSM-5的双相障碍更为恰当。我们还认为,这种抑郁障碍–双相障碍之间的界线模糊不清是产生重性抑郁障碍诊断信度低的原因之一。     

抑郁转双相障碍的认知行为治疗个案概念化报告

双相障碍(Bipolar Disorder)是有抑郁发作和躁狂发作的一种心境障碍,而重性抑郁障碍(Major Depressive Disorder, MDD)是以显著而持久的心境低落、思维迟缓和意志减退的"三低症状"为主要特征的一种精神障碍.双相障碍的抑郁发作(简称双相抑郁),在第一次发作时很难与抑郁障碍进行鉴别.因此双相抑郁常被误诊为MDD.有研究发现,误诊为抑郁障碍的双相障碍Ⅱ型患者的自杀率高达38.9%[1].     

双相障碍躁狂发作和抑郁障碍患者心理理论研究

目的 比较双相障碍躁狂发作和抑郁障碍患者心理理论（theory of mind,ToM）损害及其错误类型与临床症状的相关性。方法 纳入躁狂发作患者54例，抑郁障碍患者54例，健康对照者52名。采用中文版社会认知视频测查工具（Chinese version of the movie for the assessment of social cognition,MASC-C）评估被试ToM能力，计算被试在MASC-C任务中正确得分及三种错误ToM得分（包括“ToM-过度”、“ToM-不足”及“没有-ToM”）。躁狂发作组采用杨氏躁狂量表（Young manic rating scale,YMRS）评定躁狂症状，抑郁障碍组使用24项汉密尔顿抑郁量表（24-item Hamilton depression scale,HAMD-24）评估抑郁症状。结果 躁狂发作组和抑郁障碍组MASC-C总分均低于对照组[25.0(23.0,28.0)、29.5(25.0,32.0) vs. 31.5(29.3,33.0)，均P<0.01]。躁狂发作组“ToM-过度”得分高于其他两组[9.5(8.0,10...     

双相情感障碍血清尿酸水平研究

目的探讨双相情感障碍患者血清尿酸(uric acid,UA)水平变化及其临床意义。方法纳入双相情感障碍患者126例(躁狂发作77例,抑郁发作49例)、首发精神分裂症患者69例和正常对照126名,测定其血清UA水平,并采用杨氏躁狂量表(Young mania rating scale,YMRS)和汉密尔顿抑郁量表(Hamilton depressionscale,HAMD)评定双相情感障碍患者症状。结果双相情感障碍组血清UA水平[(349.34±107.21)μmol/L]高于精神分裂症组[(319.71±84.48)μmol/L]和对照组[(280.94±71.90)μmol/L],差异有统计学意义(P0.01);躁狂发作患者UA水平高于抑郁发作患者[(366.45±104.01)μmol/L vs.(322.45±107.69)μmol/L],且二者均高于对照组(P0.01);双相情感障碍患者中是否使用精神科药物的亚组间UA水平无统计学差异(P0.05)。双相情感障碍患者血清UA水平与YMRS、HAMD分数线性相关均无统计学意义(P0.05)。结论双相情感障碍患者血清UA水平升高,血清UA水平升高可能是双相情感障碍的一个生物标记物。     

A history of childhood attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) impacts clinical outcome in adult bipolar patients regardless of current ADHD

Objective: The occurrence of comorbid attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) might have an impact of the course of the bipolar disorder. Method: Patients with bipolar disorder (n = 159) underwent a comprehensive evaluation with respect to affective symptoms. Independent psychiatrists assessed childhood and current ADHD, and an interview with a parent was undertaken. Results: The prevalence of adult ADHD was 16%. An additional 12% met the criteria for childhood ADHD without meeting criteria for adult ADHD. Both these groups had significantly earlier onset of their first affective episode, more frequent affective episodes (except manic episodes), and more interpersonal violence than the bipolar patients without a history of ADHD. Conclusion: The fact that bipolar patients with a history of childhood ADHD have a different clinical outcome than the pure bipolar group, regardless of whether the ADHD symptoms remained in adulthood or not, suggests that it represent a distinct early‐onset phenotype of bipolar disorder.     

Agitated "unipolar" major depression: prevalence, phenomenology, and outcome

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore how prevalent agitated "unipolar" major depression is, whether it belongs to the bipolar spectrum, and whether it differs from nonagitated "unipolar" major depression with respect to course and outcome. METHOD: The study was conducted from January 1, 1978, to December 31, 1996. From 361 patients with major depressive disorder, the authors selected those fulfilling Research Diagnostic Criteria for agitated depression. These 94 patients were compared to 94 randomly recruited patients with nonagitated major depressive disorder regarding demographic and historical features, the clinical characteristics of the index episode, the percentage of time spent in an affective episode during a prospective observation period, and the 5-year outcome. Patients with agitated major depressive disorder who had at least 2 manic/hypomanic symptoms in their index episode were compared to the other patients with agitated major depressive disorder with respect to the same variables. RESULTS: Patients with agitated major depressive disorder were more likely to receive antipsychotics during their index episode and spent a higher proportion of time in an affective episode during the observation period compared with patients with nonagitated major depressive disorder. The presence of at least 2 manic/hypomanic symptoms in the index episode was associated with a higher rate of family history of bipolar I disorder, a higher score for suicidal thoughts during the episode, a longer duration of the episode, and a higher affective morbidity during the observation period. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of agitated major depressive disorder is not uncommon and has significant therapeutic and prognostic implications. The subgroup of patients with at least 2 manic/hypomanic symptoms may suffer from a mixed state and/or belong to the bipolar spectrum.     

Post-traumatic stress symptoms and trauma exposure in youth with first episode bipolar disorder

Aims: To examine the prevalence of trauma exposure as well as the rates and effects of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adolescents with bipolar disorder following a first manic episode. Methods: Adolescents (12–18 years) with DSM-IV bipolar I disorder and experiencing their first manic or mixed episode were recruited. Participants underwent structured diagnostic interviews, completed the Trauma Symptom Checklist for Children (TSCC), and were prospectively evaluated using diagnostic, symptomatic and functional assessments over the course of 12 months. Results: Seventy-six adolescents (14.9 ± 1.7 years) completed the TSCC and 66% (50 individuals) reported exposure to traumatic events. Two (3%) subjects met DSM-IV criteria for PTSD, 11 (14%) had post-traumatic stress t-scores ≥65, the threshold for clinically significant symptoms. Subjects with and without post-traumatic stress t-scores ≥65 did not differ in demographic characteristics. When compared by t-score, TSCC subscores of the first episode bipolar adolescents were similar to normative data. Regression models incorporating TSCC subcomponents, did not predict syndromic recovery or recurrence or symptomatic recovery. Conclusions: Rates of PTSD were lower in this sample of bipolar adolescents at the time of their first hospitalization compared with rates in samples of bipolar adults. These differences coupled with the low incidence of PTSD and trauma symptoms in this young sample suggests that bipolar disorder may be a risk factor for the development of PTSD later in the course of illness or following recurrent affective episodes.     

Clinical characteristics of patients with major affective disorders and comorbid migraine.

The present study was undertaken to examine the clinical characteristics of patients with major affective disorders and comorbid migraine. Patients (n = 102) with an index episode of either major depression or mania were interviewed with a semi-structured interview based partly on DSM-IV criteria and partly on Akiskal's criteria for affective temperaments. Compared to the patients without migraine (n = 49), the patients with comorbid migraine (n = 53) had a higher frequency of bipolar II disorder (43% vs. 10%), a lower frequency of bipolar I disorder (11% vs. 33%), an approximately equal frequency of unipolar depressive disorder (45% vs. 57%) and a higher frequency of affective temperaments (45% vs. 22%). The migraine patients also had a greater number of anxiety disorders (3.0 vs. 1.9) and a higher frequency of panic disorder and agoraphobia. Gender distribution, age, age at onset of first affective episode, number of previous episodes and symptoms during depressive episodes were similar in both groups. Based on these findings it is suggested that the presence of migraine may be used to delineate a distinct subgroup of the major affective disorders.     

Acute treatment outcomes in patients with bipolar I disorder and co-morbid borderline personality disorder receiving medication and psychotherapy

OBJECTIVE: Patients suffering from both bipolar I disorder and borderline personality disorder (BPD) pose unique treatment challenges. The purpose of this matched case-control study was to compare acute treatment outcomes of a sample of patients who met standardized diagnostic criteria for both bipolar I disorder and BPD (n = 12) to those who met criteria for bipolar I disorder only (n = 58). METHOD: Subjects meeting criteria for an acute affective episode were treated with a combination of algorithm-driven pharmacotherapy and weekly psychotherapy until stabilization (defined as four consecutive weeks with a calculated average of the 17-item version of the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and Bech-Rafaelsen Mania scale totaling < or = 7). RESULTS: Only three of 12 (25%) bipolar-BPD patients achieved stabilization, compared with 43 of 58 (74%) bipolar-only patients. Two of the three bipolar-BPD patients who did stabilize took over 95 weeks to do so, compared with a median time-to-stabilization of 35 weeks in the bipolar-only group. The bipolar-BPD group received significantly more atypical mood-stabilizing medications per year than the bipolar-only group (Z = 4.3, p < 0.0001). Dropout rates in the comorbid group were high. CONCLUSIONS: This quasi-experimental study suggests that treatment course may be longer in patients suffering from both bipolar I disorder and BPD. Some patients improved substantially with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, suggesting that this approach is worthy of further investigation.     

Diagnosis and clinical course of erotomanic and other delusional patients

Twenty-eight patients with erotomanic delusions were compared with 80 patients with other delusions to clarify questions about diagnosis and course of illness in erotomania. The erotomanic patients were a heterogeneous group with respect to both diagnosis and course. They had significantly more manic symptoms than the comparison group and more affective diagnoses than would be expected from the literature; 25% (N = 7) had schizoaffective disorder and 7% (N = 2) had bipolar disorder. A subgroup of monodelusional erotomanic patients was identified who met the DSM-III-R criteria for delusional disorder, thus supporting the decision to include erotomanic delusions in this diagnostic category in the revision of DSM-III.     

Resting energy expenditure in manic episode

Objective:  We aimed to assess the resting energy expenditure in bipolar I disorder, manic episode patients.
Method:  Forty-two bipolar I disorder, manic episode patients that were treated in the inpatient psychiatry clinic of Trakya University Hospital and had met the necessary study criteria were included along with 27 controls. DSM-IV criteria and the Bech-Rafaelsen Mania Rating Scale were used to evaluate patients' diagnosis and severity of the manic episodes. The indirect calorimetry device was used to measure resting energy expenditure values.
Results:  Resting energy expenditure values of manic patients were found to be higher than those of the controls. Controls showed significant correlations between body mass index and resting energy expenditure, but manic patients did not exhibit similar correlations. There was also no relation between Bech-Rafaelsen Mania Rating Scale scores and resting energy expenditure values in manic patients.
Conclusions:  We found significantly increased resting energy expenditure values in bipolar I disorder, manic episode patients. These findings suggest a possible clinical use of resting energy expenditure for evaluation of bipolar I disorder manic episode and also suggest resting energy expenditure as a possible biological marker.     

Risperidone in the treatment of mixed state bipolar patients: Results from a 24-week, multicenter, open-label study in Korea

Aims:  The goal of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of risperidone combined with mood stabilizers for treating bipolar mixed state.
Methods:  The present study was a 24-week, open-label, combination, prospective investigation of the efficacy of risperidone in combination with mood stabilizers. Risperidone (1–6 mg/day) was given in combination with mood stabilizers in flexible doses according to clinical response and tolerability for 114 patients in mixed or manic episode.
Results:  Forty-four patients met our criteria for mixed state bipolar disorder and 70 met the criteria for pure mania. Mean age for the subjects was 39.0 ± 11.0 years and 55.3% were female. The combination of risperidone with mood stabilizers significantly improved the scores on the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), 18-item Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), Global Assessment Scale (GAS), and Clinical Global Impression Scale for use in bipolar illness Severity (CGI-BP) at 24 weeks ( P  < 0.0001). Analysis of the YMRS, BPRS, GAS, and CGI-BP scores showed significant improvement in both the manic and mixed groups. The rate of response in YMRS scores was 84.2% ( n  = 96) and the rate of YMRS remission was 77.2% ( n  = 88) at week 24 in the total population. Seventy-four patients met both YMRS ≤ 12 and HAMD ≤ 7 at week 24 (64.9%). Risperidone was well tolerated, and adverse events were mostly mild.
Conclusion:  The combination of risperidone with mood stabilizers was an effective and safe treatment for manic symptoms and coexisting depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder.     

Laterality of pain in migraine with comorbid unipolar depressive and bipolar II disorders

Objectives:  The purpose of the present study has been to examine differences in the laterality of pain in patients with migraine and comorbid unipolar depressive (UP) and bipolar II (BP II) disorders.
Methods:  Semi-structured interviews of 102 patients with major affective disorders were conducted, using DSM-IV criteria for affective disorders combined with Akiskal's criteria for affective temperaments and International Headache Society criteria for migraine. The group of patients reported on in the present study encompass 47 subjects with UP (n=24) or BP II (n=23) disorders. Fifteen of the bipolar II patients fulfilled DSM-IV criteria while eight were diagnosed according to the broader criteria of Akiskal.
Results:  Sixteen of the 38 patients with migraine headaches had bilateral pain or pain equally often on the left or right side while 22 had pain predominantly located on one side. Among the UP patients the pain was most often on the right side (8/10) while among the BP II patients the pain was most often on the left (9/12, p = 0.01). Apart from the presence of hypomanic symptoms in the BP II group there were no clinical or demographic characteristics that distinguished these two sub-groups of affective disorders.
Conclusions:  These results indicate that there may be a differential affection of the cerebral hemispheres in patients with migraine and comorbid unipolar depressive disorder versus patients with migraine and comorbid bipolar II disorder.     

Functional impairment in the remission phase of bipolar disorder

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate functional impairment in a group of patients with bipolar disorder in remission and to determine the extent of relationships between overall functioning and current depressive, manic and panic spectrum symptoms. METHOD: A subset of the patient population at the Pittsburgh site of the Systematic Treatment Enhancement Program in Bipolar Disorder (STEP-BD) study was evaluated in this study. The subsample comprises 103 male and female subjects with bipolar I disorder (n = 70), bipolar II disorder (n = 24), schizoaffective disorder - bipolar type (n = 4), or bipolar disorder NOS (n = 5). Subjects were evaluated in a period of remission (at least 4 weeks with no more than two depressive or manic symptoms). Subjects were assessed for overall functional status using the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS) and for current bipolar and panic spectrum symptoms using the Mood Spectrum Self-Report questionnaire (MOODS-SR) and Panic-Agoraphobic Spectrum Self-Report questionnaire (PAS-SR). RESULTS: The median WSAS total score in these remitted subjects was 14, indicating significant functional impairment. Regressing WSAS on current depressive, manic, and panic spectrum total scores, we observed a highly significant depressive spectrum effect (t = 4.9, df = 94, p < 0.0001), but non-significant panic and manic spectrum effects (t = 1.3, df = 94, p = 0.19 and t = -1.8, df = 94, p = 0.07, respectively). CONCLUSION: Bipolar disorder is associated with functional deficits even during periods of sustained and substantial remission. The degree of functional impairment is correlated with the degree of depressive spectrum symptoms.
