II. Manic, Bipolar, and Depressive Subtypes

Thomas H. McGlashan, MD; Paul V. Williams, MD

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1987;44(2):138-139.

Abstract
• Three schizoaffective subtypes—manic, bipolar, and depressive—were compared across multiple baseline (demographic, premorbid, morbid) and long-term outcome dimensions. Though the subtypes were comparable at baseline, the patients with depressive schizoaffective disorder scored consistently better at follow-up, although none of these differences was statistically significant. Results failed to support the validity of such subtyping in schizoaffective disorder, at least in predominantly chronic populations.
